The journey to Easter’s new beginnings isn’t an easy one. It asks us to be with Jesus in his final day — to break the bread together, to go to the cross with him, to trust in the darkest of times. And on this Maundy Thursday, here at the farm we take part in an ancient ritual that isn’t very popular these days — foot washing.

For I have discovered, Easter’s new beginnings start with the basin and the towel. It is the ability to not only show love, but to receive love — no matter how hurt or rejected we feel sometimes in life — that helps our anger wash away to acceptance and for acceptance to ripple into widening circles of grace.

I pray you take time in your preparations for Easter to spend some quiet time with me here at Old Stone Well Farm. Let me know what you think…and how open are you to being vulnerable to others? Like, comment and share with others, as there’s always room here at the farm table.

Blessings!
