We are His hands and feet

At one of our team meeting's Skip shared with us this poem

Do you know oh Christian you are a sermon in shoes
Do you know oh Christian you are a sermon in shoes
Jesus calls upon you to spread the gospel news
So walk it
And talk it
Live it
And Give it
teach it
And preach it
Know it
And show it

This couldn't be more fitting for our day. We spent the morning putting shoes on the children of a baby home. The joy you see in the eyes of a child when you find that perfect pair of flowered shoes, or those sandals that are blue. It was pure joy on the faces of these children as we put on socks and shoes. We then had the opportunity to place a blanket on each child's bed. Each blanket was made with love and continued prayers by our quilting ministry. What a blessing it has been to share those blankets with these beautiful children.  We are his hands an feet, carrying boxes up and down stairs, putting socks on feet, finding shoes for prosthetic legs; we are doing the work of The Lord.  And we pray that they will know we are Christians by our love.

Pray that we are a sermon in shoes.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us -
yes, establish the work of our hands.
