"Walk in the way of love, as dearly loved
children," that's what Ephesians 5:1 says and that's what these pastors
were going to teach the tiny ones they gathered. A bit of a treasure hunt
ensued after pastors were each given two pair of Sensible Shoes. Find a child
to fit each pair, they were told, and bring them back to Jesus Miracle
Celebration Ministries church.
Collecting the
Children
There's never a lack of children, as a matter of fact…these
crowds were made of the many mothers and children who wanted the special gift
but wouldn't receive. Though we offered to wash their feed, pray, and prophesy
over them.
Washing the Feet
Please understand, asking male pastors to wash the feet of
children is very anti-cultural. Women care for children here. Of course we all
agreed that if Jesus could do it, so could they and what I overheard must have
blessed the Lord. The ender voices, hearts, and spirits of these pastors came
to meet these children right where they were.
Pastors Praying
Precious moments of prayer for the children with their new
shoes, and any others who happened to be hanging around.
Gorgeous Kiddos
Some of these kids are just too cute!
Miscellaneous
New Shoes
Each time we have the opportunity to serve children with
Sensible Shoes, I am increasingly blessed. I just can't even describe the
spirit that comes over us and the place where we're serving. It's precious. If
you've never washed the feet of someone you know (or don't know), you are
really missing out. Blessed beyond words!
Thank you to Sharon Brown (my shoe sister), Sharon, Laura,
Gretchen, Jennifer, and Rhonda for making this ministry opportunity possible!
