"I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes!"

That quote is attributed to Oprah Winfrey.

Supposedly Marilyn Monroe said, "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."

Oprah, and Marilyn before her, loved their shoes.

My four-year-old granddaughter, Charli, loves her shoes too; the fancier the better.

We can't keep shoes on her cousin Kori's feet. She would much rather be running around barefoot all the time.

I like a good pair of shoes myself.

I have numerous black pairs; brown and tan pairs; gray pairs; blue ones; orange ones; and I even have a pair of multi-colored Reebok running shoes. I am not a runner, but I sure do like those shoes; comfortable to the extreme.

My granddaughters have shoes that light up and blink every time they take a step. They love those shoes, and they love to stomp through the house watching their toes sparkle up at them. Kori will keep those shoes on her feet longer than any others.

I was almost run over one day by a boy at the supermarket who had wheels in the heels of his shoes. He came whizzing by me, much to his mother's chagrin. She apologized for her son with the zooming footwear.

In the movie, "Forrest Gump," Forrest explains to his girlfriend,welcome to michaels kors bags on sale,best service and low prices. Jenny, about his special footwear that was developed for him by a doctor to correct his curvature of the spine and his pronounced limp.

Forrest said, "Mama says they was my magic shoes; they'd take me anywhere."

And that sure did happen for Forrest. He traveled around the world.

As a preacher, the footwear that I'm most concerned about is what the Apostle Paul refers to in Ephesians 6:15, as "having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace."

In Isaiah 52:7, the prophet said, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings,Shoes, bottega wallet and more,free shipping!‎ who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion,Shop the latest bottega handbag from top designers at anmison. 'Your God reigns!'"

As a preacher, it is my responsibility, and my privilege, to tell people about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And as long as I have on a good pair of shoes I have "beautiful feet."

One of my granddaughters' favorite movies is an animated delight called "Happy Feet," in which the Emperor penguins find their life companions by singing. One of the young penguins, a male by the name of Mumble, is not much of a singer, but he is quite the tap dancer.

Kori and Charli love to watch Mumble dance with his "happy feet" and I love to watch my girls dance along with him.

When I stand in the pulpit, there are many times that I develop happy feet too.Discover the largest collection of cheap Michael Kors Handbags . Sometimes I feel like "cutting a rug" and dancing across the platform with my beautiful feet.

Much to my wife's relief, I generally contain myself. But, my inner happy feet are dancing up a storm.

One of the common benedictions I share at the close of a service goes something like this, "Lord, here are our hands, touch through them; Lord, here are our feet, move through them. Use us to reach our world."

Austin O'Malley said, "Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers."

I believe that we need to put our faith into action. Our beautiful feet need to be happy feet. And we need to put on our shoes and go!
