The World Through My Shoes is my look at living this incredible gift God has given us. As a busy wife, mother and daughter I relish the alone time I receive on my early morning runs. It is in the stillness of those predawn mornings where I often am inspired. Thank you for taking the time to read my words.

The Apple Tree

When we first moved into the neighborhood,  this apple tree stood regal.  It's branches reached out in symmetrical unison; seemingly to the sky.

On many early morning runs, I'd find the ponies from across the street had broke through their fencing and stood munching on the tree's fallen apples.

Winter storms have stolen many of it's branches.  It no longer stands as magnificent as in years past.  Critters have made holes in it's trunk and call it home.

And yet today as I ran by, it's solitary branch was loaded with apples. 

After all the broken, after all the losses, the tree still does what God created it to do.

Be encouraged.
