Shane Claiborne spoke at Ichthus last year and he was talking about his experiences in working with Mother Teresa in India. He said that he remembered her feet being pretty torn up and gnarled. I don't remember if he asked her how they got like that because I can't imagine him asking her, "Why are your feet so ugly?" He did find out that it was because they received shoe donations on occasion at their home and they always had just enough for each person who lived there to have one pair. She would go through the shoes, give all of them away, and keep the worst pair for herself. She put everyone's needs ahead of her own and that's a huge reason that she is remembered as one of the greatest people in history.
Question: What is something you can do to make yourself the least among others?
