I will give

This morning I had a chance to think deeply about all the blessings of my life. One being the shoes on my feet I wear everyday. The many shoes I get to choose from. My slippers in the morning.. because it is so cold... My gym shoes, my dress shoes, my casual shoes, a few pair of flips flops ect... As a shoe lover, I too often take for granted the blessing I have to be able to put shoes on my kids feet everyday.

When we were in Mexico this last October I remember looking down at the kids feet at the work camp we visited. There most of the kids had NO shoes. I was sad to think that they run around all day with no protection from all they are exposed to. I thought how would you be able to provide shoes for little ones and their parents who work all day in the feilds.

Well, I found my answer. This morning I took not more then 3 minutes of my day and $15 to donate 6 pairs of shoes. ( the link is on the right). I thought to myself that I would show my kids what little we can do and how great of a blessing it can be to 6 people somewhere else in the world. The 6 of us have more then 6 shoes. I wanted them to remeber what we saw when we were in mexico. Now that we are how the impact doesn't have to stop. We can still give !

I don't know if you have 3 minutes, $5 to give... for 2 pairs of shoes this year. I think I wear more then two pair of shoes a day!! They also cost more then $2.50 a piece. 

Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

I feel so blessed and running over. I want to listen, hear and do what the Lord is telling me to do for his people. Those he loves... those who he sent his precious christmas gift for too!
