For Friday, May 9th, 2025

 

FRIDAY, MAY 9TH, 2025

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks,  and boring grays of your every day.

Today is No Socks Day which gives the opportunity to free your feet from socks and stockings and give your toes a breath of fresh air. 

Barefoot is the state of not wearing any footwear.  Many people do not wear footwear in their homes. There are also many sports that people play barefoot, including swimming, Water skiing , beach volleyball, gymnastics, and martial arts.  

In modern language some who prefers not to wear shoes in public, is known as a barefooter.

Celebrate today and pull off your socks and let your feet breathe. 

If you cannot see the bright side polish the dull side 

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

 

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. 

Here in Texas I don’t wear socks much at all.  I wear shoes without them and rarely go barefooted.  I wear a lot of flip flops but if doing a lot of walking I need better shoes like my tennis shoes. 

Today’s pictures are of my flip flops which I’ll be showing again on Flip Flop Day. When it heats up here I never wear socks. 

This afternoon I have a rehab class so will wear my tennis shoes. They don’t want us to wear open toed shoes.  We are in the 80’s so no socks for me!

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Bare feet in the sand is simply the best.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

13,380. For comfortable shoes to wear in summer warmth. 

13,381.for socks when it is cold outside  

 13,382.  for a partly cloudy day because that means it’s also partly sunny!

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
