\u00a0<\/strong>_My Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recently<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking\u00a0 about<\/strong><\/p>\n

my Feet<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*<\/p>\n

Our feet have a significant role to play in our daily life.\u00a0 If something is changing\u00a0 in our feet, it will affect our entire body.<\/p>\n

I’ve been experiencing some painful problems with one toe on my right foot. I am keenly aware of the troubles just one small toe can cause that affects my entire body.\u00a0 I began to notice that my right foot\u00a0 was becoming very sore after I was outside working in my flower gardens for a couple of hours.\u00a0 My foot\u00a0 felt like it was on fire!\u00a0 So uncomfortable that I had to quit what I was\u00a0 doing and take a break.<\/p>\n

Two years ago,\u00a0 I injured the toe that is right beside my “big toe” on my right foot. This toe was always a bit longer than my big toe, so it has always caused a little bit of a problem, and I was able to be comfortable for many years by wearing Birkenstock shoes.See them\u00a0Here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Birkenstock shoes\u00a0 are made in Germany, and they have been my shoe-of-choice since the late 80s.\u00a0 I got my first pair of Birkenstock’s Arizona sandals while working on my MFA degree in Art at West Virginia University. That first pair was brought to me by a friend who was at a college in upstate New York.\u00a0 I asked her to buy a pair from a local store where Birkenstock’s were sold. , She brought them to me when she came for a visit.<\/p>\n

After I began taking students to Austria in the summertime, I located a Birkenstock store that was just across the border, in Germany.\u00a0 From that time forward, during my summer travels I purchased most of my Birkenstock shoes from that store.<\/p>\n

But now, my feet are beginning to change and the shoes I always loved to wear are not working for me any longer.<\/p>\n

However, I’ve learned that as I\u00a0 am now just about ready to celebrate my 83rd birthday on August 27, those beloved shoes are now not working because that troublesome toe has begun to bend and curve to the right, where my other three toes reside.\u00a0 This is causing pain, and even when I am not wearing any shoes at all, this toe is still complaining.\u00a0 Just putting on\u00a0 a pair of socks makes it start to throb.<\/p>\n

Now, this is also a disappointment for me because I love to wear impressive, colorful, and well-designed socks!<\/p>\n

I love the variety of beautiful patterns and colors and the construction of my favorite socks – made by Bombas!\u00a0 In fact, after I got my first pair of Bombas, I quit wearing all of my other socks.\u00a0 That includes the hand-knit socks I cherished, too.\u00a0 There is nothing to compare with a pair of\u00a0 Bombas \u00a0<\/a>on my feet!\u00a0 Talk about walking in heaven, which is what I feel like in my Bombas.<\/p>\n

I’ve gifted Bombas to family members and some of them wear them all the time. I love to give people gifts that make them feel good, and Bombas is the best pair of socks I’ve ever encountered. Unfortunately, even my Bombas are causing pain in that foot.\u00a0 Now what?<\/p>\n

Update on my foot:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the past week, , I am sitting in my office or library, sifting through books and papers, and taking time out for some Arizona Green Tea, nice and\u00a0 cold, from my refrigerator.\u00a0 My green thumb is complaining because the weeding has been put on hold for now. I feel guilty knowing the weeds are rejoicing in my absence.\u00a0 My daughter, Ilsa, told me she thinks I am\u00a0 having the withdrawals since I can’t go out to work in the gardens this week.<\/p>\n

I’ve been taking a medication prescribed by my foot doctor.\u00a0 \u00a0The redness and swelling is coming down.\u00a0 I cannot walk on this foot unless I have on the special podiatric sandal the doctor put on me a week ago.\u00a0 This, of course, has altered my days quite a lot since I cannot walk outside much at all.<\/p>\n

Feet!\u00a0 We just can’t function well when our feet begin to hurt.<\/p>\n

This led me to do some research in my favorite book_The Bible.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, I found so many different examples of the word, FEET.\u00a0 But, I will share just a couple of them – my favorites!<\/p>\n

_Scripture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yes! I’ve discovered that the Bible has a lot to say about our feet!<\/p>\n

The word “feet” appears over 200 \u00a0times\u00a0 in forty books in the\u00a0 King James version of the Bible.<\/p>\n
