Florida Feet Bring Me Joy!

Good, True & Beautiful


Here in the deep south, we have experienced a lot of cold weather this year.  I know that it is much worse in other areas, but here, we are just not used to day after day of cold!  It takes some adjustment to learn to layer our clothing and other tricks to keep warm. 
Like shoes:  The usual Florida foot wear is flip flop shoes.  But it has been awhile since I have been able to bear my feet!  It has been socks and closed in shoes.
Until last weekend, where we had a brief warm up and I was able to shed the winter shoes and put these on:

That was a sure spot of joy for my week!

    I'm officially JEALOUS! We're in the middle of a snow storm... parkas, coats, hats and mittens are essentials. Flip Flops? Not until July.

    send some warmth our way!

    Ooooo, I love flip-flops! We're wearing them here in AZ already, too.

    I love seeing my freshly painted toes peeking out at me. Definitely brings me joy!

    We are experiencing an unusual coldness/wetness here in California as well. As soon as the sun decided to stay out for a while, we'd be hitting the beach!

    Florida sounds a lot like California! We are so spoiled to be able to wear flip flops all year round, although it's raining today! But last weekend was perfect.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals.

Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
