Me:\u00a0 Nice shoe Prodigal!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 You can say it is one of a kind.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 That I will agree with.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 How about if you share a story.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 How about if I share a story about shoes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Great Women of the Christian Faith written by Edith Deen and is a story about Amanda Smith<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She depended on God to supply her simplest needs.\u00a0 When the soles of her only shoes were so broken that they did not keep her feet dry, she prayed for shoes and heard a voice say:\u00a0 “If thou canst believe;\u00a0 all things are possible to him that believeth.”\u00a0 She answered:\u00a0 “Lord, the shoes are mine and I put them on as really as ever I put on a pair of shoes in my life.\u00a0 O, how real it was!\u00a0 When I got up I walked about and felt I really had the shoes I had asked for, on my feet.”\u00a0 Three days later, while she was at church, a two-dollar bill and three one dollar bills were placed in her hand by a stranger.\u00a0 She heard a voice say:\u00a0 “You know you prayed about your shoes.”\u00a0 Filled with gratitude, she observed in her autobiography:\u00a0 “It was the Lord’s doing, and it was marvelous.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We forget to remember some of the small things that are the Lord’s doing but make a difference in our life.\u00a0 What about that encouragement today that came from the unexpected person that helped lift you from despair to hope and rejoicing?\u00a0 We may not need a lot of shoes in our society today but we sure could use a lot of encouraging.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Philippians 4:8<\/p>\n

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever, commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.<\/p>\n
