(Luke 7:36-50) She kneels at His feet,feet blistered into toughnessfrom trekking milesto aidthe hurting.Feet washed cleanby her repentanttears. She listens to His words,words that assure herHe accepts her attemptsto sayshe is sorry. She opens her heart,opens it wide enough to receiveHis love,His affirmation,His forgiveness. Chris Ahlemann
