Christmas Shoes

The children are growing so fast and playing so hard they are quickly outgrowing their zapatos... One thing I can say that these children are so very grateful for their shoes! When we were first given custody of the children, they did not want to take off their shoes. Realizing we were not going to take them away from them, they began to feel more secure and would run around the room (in Colombia) barefoot. Now, from time to time, they may become fixated on their shoes, but not usually. Diego likes to run barefoot while at home in or outside the house. Andrew has learned and taught Tatiana how to slide on the floors in her socks. At any rate, the children love their new shoes!

We found some Reeboks for Tatiana for $10 at Sears. The boys were a little more costly. We bought a half to one size bigger so they could grow in them. Andrew also out grew his church shoes, so he was lucky and got 2 pair yesterday!

Thank You, God, for these little feet! I pray that You order these feet...and that they follow close after You. I thank You that they will go and preach the gospel on foreign soil and You will cover them with Your spirit. Help us to train them and guide them as You would have us to. Amen!
