Beautiful are the Feet

So, kids don’t have shoes here.
 I set down a few times, wrote some paragraphs, then erased them because I was trying to write this to my friends in a way that would catch their eye, or pull at their hearts, or whatever you want to call it.  That’s dumb.  So here it is. 
There are a lot of homeless kids we have made friends with here.  We have been super blessed to clean and dress their wounds, teach them bible lessons, play games, and just be silly.  The thing is, a lot of them are in pain that they don’t have to be in.  For many, the backs of their little heals are falling off, and many of their toes are in bad shape.  It hurts them, and I know without a doubt if you saw it, you would be in pain too.  We feel other people’s pain because God lives inside us, and He hurts and cries when we do.  So it is natural to feel other’s pain.  It’s also natural and part of God’s heart to help and serve.
So, kids don’t have shoes, but they would sure love some.  If you are able and would like to donate funds for this, let me know. My email is at the top.

  2. Hi, Katie!

    Your grandmother (Jean) shared your blog articles with us in church Sunday. Members of the church would like to respond and communicate with you, but your email address does not appear on the blog. How can we get in touch with you?

    Blessings,
