Crackers in My Shoe

I like soul food, but this isn’t what I had in mind!

How did this happen, you ask?  Oh, I can be haphazard and lackadaisical sometimes. I meant for the crackers to land in a plastic container on the cabinet above, but I dumped them too quickly, in a container that was too small.  It didn’t help matters that I was stepping over my own shoes that I carelessly left in the kitchen last night.

Next time I wear these, my walk may be a little crumby, unless I clean them up.  Our Christian walk can get crumby at times too.  Being apathetic and careless, perhaps easily stumbling into sin, will allow Satan to get a foothold on our lives.  Pun intended. Smile Let’s do our best to not let that happen!  Hugs to all of you!

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”  John F. Kennedy

JFK

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”  Ronald Reagan
