"She sings a snatch of a merry song
As she toils in her home from morn till night.
Her work is hard and the hours are long
But the little woman's heart is light."
No one ever has sore feet who wears shoes of sunshine.
(2) The Bible says it is a good thing to wear shoes that are called "the preparation of the gospel of peace."
I wonder what that means? It is not easy to say, but I fancy it means we should be always ready to preach the love gospel of Jesus.
"What!" you say. "I preach!"—Why sure! a preacher is not only a man in a pulpit on Sunday. He is one who delivers a message, and he does not have to always use his voice. Deeds talk too!
A young fellow was converted, so he said, by his mother's preaching—but she never said anything. She just lived so that when people saw her they thought of Jesus. He called it his mother's "translation of the Bible."
Our Bibles are changed from Greek and Hebrew into English. He said hers was changed from print into practice.
And those shoes that cover the feet with a Christ love message will never wear out.
There is a beautiful hymn we all love to sing. You can hear it on a victrola from a trained quartette and it sounds wonderful:
"I love to tell the story,
More wonderful it seems,
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.
And when in scenes of glory
I sing the new, new song,
Twill be the old, old story,
That I have loved so long."
