There are regularly piles of shoes to be found at the Chastney household; large ones, small ones, boots, shoes, flip-flops, sandals, pink, black, clean, dirty, polished, trainers, wellington, jellies, red, green, brown, laced, velcro, unlaced, plastic, cloth, leather. Each of these shoes have brought with them someone who wants to come into our house.
Sometimes the shoes bring people in need, sometimes they bring people who want to have fun, sometimes they even bring members of the family.
We don’t have rules about the types of shoes which are allowed to come and we don’t have rules about the people they bring.
A pile of shoes is a sure sign that the shoes want to come for whatever reason. It’s a blessing to be privileged with so many of them visiting.
Never give up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord. Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying. Take care of God’s needy people and welcome strangers into your home.
