Being Barefoot

This sweet little photo below is of my mother and her siblings.

These were simple times.

Basic needs: Shelter, clothing and food on the table.

For play time you found something to entertain yourself, such as a twig

to draw with in the dirt.

Though the times were tough back then, you always had your family and their love.

My mother is the sweet little girl with pigtails and holding her little brother. Her little sister is on the left.

Becky, at Just Bee'n Me blog is hosting a Way Back When-sday

that is to be Easter related.

I don't have any such Easter photos, however this photo of my barefoot Mother, Aunt and Baby Uncle made me think of Jesus. By this I mean of how Jesus walked barefoot through the streets and carried the cross on his back from which he would be crucified on. Those were not simple times, not for Jesus. He died for all of us and loves us so much.

Whenever I run around barefoot and complain about my feet hurting from the hot pavement, I think of our Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus!!

Note: I love this song as I have been like an unwinding cable car.

The chorus is:

this is the correlation of salvation and love.

(dont drop your arms)dont drop your arms.

i'll guard your heart.

with quite words i'll lead you in.

.....Jesus is my salvation and pulls me through my darkest of days.....
