Street Boys Shoes
A few weeks ago Pastor Peter challenged us to leave our shoes at the Celebration service so they can go to an organization called Soles4Souls to be given to folks who needs shoes. The local newspaper did a small blurb on the act of kindness and there was quite a buzz in the anonymous posts to the paper’s website.
I saw, first-hand, the need for some shoes this week. I took the picture above at the street boy ministry this past Monday. This was, obviously, the only pair of shoes this little boy had and he walked the streets in these shoes all day long.
We brought a bunch of flip flops with us to Rwanda and took them to the Street Boy ministry to give out that day. The boys, including this boy with such a sad pair of shoes, all left with a new pair of flip flops.
God tells us to be compassionate and he puts compassion in our hearts. Flip flops are a tool we can use to show this compassion. There are lots of things we can use as compassion tools every day if we just keep our eyes and our hearts open.
God is good…all the time!
New Flip Flops!
