A NEW SOFT SHOE

A NEW SOFT SHOE

 

Instead of a funny dance,

Last time we both got some pants…

And shirts to wear

Our friend, Deb, was there,

A kindness of God advanced.

–

This time she stopped by with Good News,

She’d found a great buy on sport shoes…

We got a pair each,

She didn’t have to preach

But embodied a blessing to choose.

–

The rest of the shoes in her car,

Men’s women’s and kid’s will go far…

To a giving festival

That’s giving away all,

To those who are economically scarred.

–

We wanted to pay back somehow,

But we just have to accept for now…

In God’s economy

Blessing is timely,

Maybe another field we can plow.
