Shoes

 I was watching TV this morning and flipping through the channels.  I usually watch Joyce Meyer, but there was a commercial on when I turned it there.  Of course I couldn’t watch a commercial, so I changed it to James Robison’s Life Reach today.  Beth Moore was speaking and she was doing a great job as usual, but that isn’t what shook me. When she was finished speaking, James starting talking about some children in a foreign country. He spoke of these kids who didn’t have shoes and how they were getting bacterial infections from the cuts in their feet. Some of the children are dying.  As I was watching it,  my 8 year old said “what is wrong with that girl”? I had to explain she didn’t have shoes and she might get sick without them. Then he asked if the adults had shoes and I had to say “no.”  Then in my mind came the why don’t you help them.  Of course the enemy started telling me who do you think you are and you are only one, so it really doesn’t matter if you help them or not.  I had  to capture my thoughts because at first I was believing them.

 I then decided that I do need to do something about it. I am going to do what I do best and that is tell as many people as I can, one person at a time.  The shoes cost $3.60 a pair, less than a cup of coffee at some places!   

 Shoes aren’t a luxury for these children, they are a necessity. A pair of shoes could literally save a life. I am attaching a website where you can purchase if you feel called.  My prayer is that together we can make a difference in these children’s lives.
