The Graceline

Once upon a time, a foolish king complained that the rough ground hurt his feet. He ordered the whole country to be carpeted.

A wise man countered: "Your majesty, why all this needless expense. Why not cut out two small pads to protect your feet."

And that is what the king did. And that is how the idea of shoes was born.

We live in a fallen world where pain is inevitable, but misery is optional. God has given us everything we need to live an abundant life of joy and godliness thru Christ Jesus, our Lord. It's a matter of attitude. Much of our perceived pain stems for focusing on what we don't have, rather than enjoying the things we do have.

Beloved, it is better to put on a pair of shoes than to carpet the whole world. You think about that.
