Beautiful Feet

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?
And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
And how can they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet
of those who bring good news!”
Romans 10:14-15

It’s been a week, Sunday, June 22, since I returned home from the hospital after ankle replacement surgery on June 17. The week included a lot of rest. I think I have been a sleep more than I have been awake.

Answered Prayer.
Thank you for praying for me. God has truly been gracious in answering prayer in specific ways over the last few weeks. I asked that the Lord that He would give me the energy to share the love of Christ with many who served me while I was in the hospital.

I had the privilege to give the attached card with a note of thanks to over 15 employees in Glenbrook Hospital. Two of the employees that I met said they have personal relationship with Jesus Christ—Praise the Lord! Pray that the seed sown with the others would take root and I will be able to follow-up with them during future surgeries in September and December on my left ankle.

Beautiful Feet.
I know the Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. (See Job 41:1-5 for complete details.) For me, it is humorous that the Lord would use me, regardless of whether I am in a cast or not, to have the privilege to share the love of Christ with others.

This photo was taken a week ago. I call the cast “Shaq’s Shoe” in honor of NBA big man Shaquille O'Neal. The doctor intentionally put an oversized cast on my foot for “extra protection.” Shaq wears a 23 size shoe. My cast is not even close to the Big Fella’s, but it feels like I am in his shoe.

Thank you for your continued prayers as I run the race with perseverance and proclaim the life changing hope of the Gospel with beautiful feet!
