There is a colorful row of rubber boots in my porch. I love, dearly, the feet that fill each and every pair. Just this week those boot took us all exploring. No puddle was safe that afternoon! Four happy children trucked up and down the block with an equally happy mommy. Drains where cleared of the leaves plugging them, puddles where worked into a tizzy by dancing feet, snow was mushed and crushed to make way for happy rivers and it was all grand, wet fun.
Spring and all its muckiness can be more then tolerable when rubber boots are readily available. One can get out into the weather with out worrying about soakers. Once out the pleasantly cool air and increasingly warm sun are so contagious!
I am thankful for joy filled activity, outdoors, year round! And SO thankful for practical outdoor foot wear! Sandals in summer, rubber boots in spring and fall, and good warm boots in winter; practical is worth being thankful for! Believe me, if you don’t have the practical you will realise the blessing it is painfully quick. Thank you Jesus for time to puddle with my kids, to be outside and for the foot wear we are blessed to have!
Have you noticed that rubber boots are in fashion? Crazy… well perhaps not, I remember when ducky boots where in fashion not so long ago and they are just short rubber boots… or rubber boot cut offs… anyhow…

I need some rubber boots! Oh, and why do you often have numbers behind your posts?
Love you Becky!

Basically each year, instead of a new years resolution, I pray for a word that I can grow in all year. This year was Thankfulness. I decided to force myself to actually practice it by recording when ever I am hit with a deep feeling of thankfulness… almost to prove to myself that I am not just an angry person… that I am not an angry person and that I am growing! The number is me counting the BIG HITS of thankfulness in my heart.
