Live a life, filled with love,
following the example of Christ.
following the example of Christ.
He loved us
and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us,
and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us,
a pleasing aroma to God.
Ephesians 5:2 NLT
A Mom and her young twin daughters were out for a walk after having been cooped up in the house during bad weather for several days. The sun was out, but there were pools of icy slush along the path. She cautioned the girls not to step in the puddles.
Skipping along and happy to be out in the sunshine, one little girl stepped right into a deep puddle, filling her shoes and soaking her socks.
Mom was just about to scold her, when her sister gently directed her to sit down on a park bench. She removed her twin's wet footwear, and replaced it with her own dry socks and shoes. Reminding her to watch for future puddles, she slipped her own feet into the wet shoes, took her sister's hand, and they continued on their way.

True love.
What a lovely story. A true sacrificial sister.
Oh, that just really touched my heart. Thank you for that blessing today. Isn't that what Jesus did for us when He died on the cross and then arose from the grave? He took our wet, muddy "shoes" and gave us brand new ones, warm and dry...and new life in Him. Beautiful story. Thank you.
Karen, So sweet. This is the time of year when you really don't know what to wear...it's cold one minute and maybe warm the next. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Love in action is better than mere words. Loved this story.
Oh, Karen...what a story! Makes me think of Jesus saying, "When I was hungry, you fed Me, When I was thirsty you gave me drink" When I was in need of direction, You gently guided me...that is how He is with me...I should extend the same kind of grace to others. Thank you so much, Karen.
i love puddle walking and have walked through many, but never in shoes or boots, always barefooted... what a sweet story
