We thank you, Lord, for our
feet, for the incredible and ingenious way you shaped them for us so that we
can use them to walk, run, climb, and simply help us go through life non-stop.
For the feet of pastors, preachers and
missionaries who go to the ends of the world spreading the Good News.
For the feet of little children who learn how to
walk after falling a hundred times over before taking their first step.
For the feet of athletes who run at incredible
speed, jump with astonishing ease and swim with a terrific kick to break all
kinds of sports records.
For the feet of marathon runners who defy
everyone and keep running, pounding the ground, thanks also to good sneakers
made by Nike, Adidas, and other brands.
For the feet of farmers and ranchers who have to
work in the outdoors, caring for their cattle, horses, and sheep, sometimes in
extremely cold weather, and at times in unbearable heat.
For the feet of police officers and firefighters
who risk their lives chasing criminals and risking their lives in adverse and
risky conditions.
For the feet of soldiers and peace-keepers that
after they finish their duties in perilous conditions, they can return safely
home to their families.
For the feet of dancers and ballerinas who
astonish us with their dancing, their pirouetting and graceful techniques they
use to entertain those who attend Ballets, Broadway Shows and other
performances.
For podiatrists who help us when our feet hurt,
or when we injure them or need any kind of help and support for aching feet.
For foot reflexologists who can soothe any
discomfort and give us a relaxing time which our feet always like and enjoy.
For the feet of adventurers and climbers,
especially those who scale high mountains in the snow, that they will always
have a way to get back down from where they started, and avoid getting lost or
disoriented. For the feet of saints who imitated Jesus in their
lifestyle, for martyrs who gave up their lives for him, and for those who left
everything to follow in his footsteps.
For the feet of Jesus who walked around Galilee
to preach, heal and motivate people to turn their lives around, the same feet
caressed by his mother Mary, washed by the tears of a sinful woman, and
brutally nailed to the cross at the crucifixion.
