Two Shoes -Have you surrendered your walk?
Based on Two Shoes by Beth Raitt
This is a great little, rhyming book with an obvious spiritual message woven in its pages. The two shoes look up to discover there is something bigger above them that is making them move and has control of their life. They discover feet, then shins, then knees, two thighs, two hips, a belly and so on. Until finally they hear a loud booming voice above. The voice explains that He is their creator and sent His son to save the world. The shoes then understand they have a purpose in their walk. . . "To love the lord Jesus and spread the good news"
I am sharing it today because it seems to fit something God has been dealing with me on.-Surrender and control. The topic keeps coming up in "my daily walk" -and I thought about these little shoes and how they keep wondering why they move and who is in control of them. It seems simple when it is put into the perspective of how our shoes would feel if they had feelings. I thought about how I look up to see a small piece of God and as I keep searching my perspective of Him gets bigger and bigger. The shoes in this story do the same. the biggest picture is understanding God's love and gift of his son. Once we accept that, we have purpose. - But before that can ever happen we have to surrender ourselves to His control. There is a song out - "Let me be your hands, Let me be your feet" I've sung the song but was reminded of it as I read this little book. These two little shoes make a discovery that we all need to make. First by accepting that gift and then by remembering it as we allow God to daily control our walk.
So many great little activities come to mind with this story. The first thing that I think would be extremely fun is to have children select a pair of their shoes. It could be an old pair that they no longer wear. Then they could glue eyes on them and write a creative story about the places those shoes have been. I think it would be extremely fun to for them to write the story from their shoe's perspective. Then you could make even more spiritual ties into how they responded to God at those very same adventures. The shoes in the story are anxious to a share the love of Jesus with others, and the children may be able to write about a time they shared Jesus' love too. You could even set out a new adventure. Give them as assignment of somewhere to go. Something like a mission field trip and when they return they could write about the journey their shoes went on. Can't you just see children walking around with googly eyes on their shoes.
Two Shoes
Do you know why we're here?
Two Shoes, written and illustrated by Beth Raitt, is a rhyming picture book about, well, two shoes! As they walk down the street, they happen to look up. What do they see? They see two feet inside their two shoes. This makes them wonder: What's making them move?
By looking higher, they discover two shins attached to the feet. They begin to wonder if there's still more that makes them move.
Further inspections reveal two knees attached to the shins, two thighs attached to the knees, and so on until they are able to see the rest of the body, all the way to the top of the head.
