More Blessed Feet.

Mari loves Jessie the Cowgirl.  She carries her Jessie doll everywhere, and anything remotely related to Jessie stops Mari in her tracks.  She got a pair of red "Jessie" boots for her birthday in August and LOVES them but they just don't "go" with everything.

Last year she had a pair of very cute warm boots that went well with most things, both dressy and casual.  She also loves those boots because she thinks they are also "Jessie" boots.  I don't bother arguing.  They are 2 sizes too small this year, though. 

In the midst of all the chaos of moving, I thought that I would keep an eye out for another pair of boots.  Unfortunately, this opportunity has only come along one time which left Mari wearing her 2-sizes-too-small boots.  I don't bother arguing.
See the boots by the bed?

After church last week, a sweet friend told me that she had just gone through her kids' closets and she had clothes for my 2 little guys.  I love love love hand-me-downs.  UNBELIEVABLY!  There were TWO pair of boots that were very similar to the boots I was trying to find!  How awesome is that! 

First, I am noticing a theme with the shoes and how cool is our God to do that!!!  I have to laugh when I think about God in the sense of WHO He is.  He is so obviously the provider of all that we have, but when he provides in such a way that it becomes a theme, you gotta know that I think of HIM as someone I would LOVE just hanging out with!  Did she need TWO pair?  NOPE.  Did God provide again abundantly?  YUP!  It literally makes me giddy to think about it.  OH, in case you have no idea what I am talking about, God just provided a pair of shoes for another one of my kids and I wrote about it here

I can't help but think of a verse I memorized a long long time ago:  Who am I and who are my people that we are able to offer as generously as this?  For all things come from You and from Your hand we have given you.  1 Chronicles 29:14
