our day without shoes

What a great day! We started the day by going to Pantego Christian Academy. Avery's best friend, Abbi, was doing their chapel on TOMS. Abbi wanted to participate in One day without shoes and asked the Principal if that was ok. She wanted to pray about it.....she came back to Abbi and said that she could do it, if she agreed to teach everyone about TOMS during chapel. I love that. Great lesson to be passionate about something, you need to be willing to work. :)

The kids and I walked across a VERY rocky parking lot to get to the school. We are barefoot often and have semi-tough feet and it was PAINFUL. Another great opportunity to think of others that do this daily, often walking hours barefoot to collect water.

Abbi and her friends, Gaby, Bailey and Reagan did an amazing job! We were all so proud. They spoke truth and reminded their classmates to not simply be excited for an opportunity to be in barefeet that day at school, but to really consider the MANY children in the world that simply don't own a pair of shoes. Not owning shoes very often prevents them from attending school.

Abbi shared with the school that her best friend adopting from Ethiopia opened her eyes to so many things. TOMS being one of them. Love this girls heart!
