Shoes.
Just say the word and see what happens.
For some, we begin reaching for our credit cards right away. For others, we don't even give them a moment's thought--we simply know they are there and we will put them on each morning before we begin the day.
When was the last time you counted the number of shoes in your closet? How many do you think are there? One pair? Ten? A number higher than all of your fingers and toes?
Now, imagine if your answer was "none." There are so many in the world who could give this answer. They are walking barefoot, because they lack the resources to simply put shoes on their feet.
Today's kindness idea: When slipping off your shoes at the end of the day, take a moment to slip into your closet and pull out those gently worn shoes you haven't used in a while. Locate a shoe donation location, and drop them in. What a difference you can make delivering kindness from the sole.

Tomorrow a friend of my daughter is coming to stay with us for a few days, a while, don't know for sure how long. She isn't getting along with her parents and they need some time apart I think to appreciate each other again. She's a handful and this could be a big mistake on my part, not sure what I'm getting myself or my family into, but I've committed to helping and all I can do is pray that it does. Wish me luck!!!
You are in my prayers, Denise! Kindness isn't always easy, is it? But, I assure you, it is always rewarding. xoxo Hayley
