Text: the strangest verse in Bible speaks of pretty feet… 

In NT we are told this about caregiver feet: 

Hebrews 12:13-15

 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Peace and Holiness, calm & truth, should mark our work, our path, as caregivers. Holiness with God, Righteousness with Man. We do this through following straight paths. Straight means simple, honest, basic, transparent, real, direct, candid. No subtle craftiness, deception, strangenesses, gambits, bets, short cuts. 

Blessed are Caregiver Feet which are simple and able to be understood. Pursuing Peace as Caregiver. 

The strangest verse in Bible, about feet, is in OT. 

Isaiah 52:7 very strange verse in Bible: how beautiful the feet on mountains… of those who do 4 things. I was raised thinking feet are ugly, to be hid in closed-toe shoes. And that loose women bare their ankles to men. Yet arguably one of most sexy things in life is inside ankle area of bare feet. With regard to young daughters, one of the most pure, honest, coolest images is watching your little girl with pants rolled up, stepping into cool water, or walking on beach. The innocence of little kids' feet. Wow! Being a child is being bare feet!!!

If you have one hour today, look at how feet have been described in ancient and medieval times, from Japan to Europe. It was King Henry II who gave us standard 12-inch "foot" as unit of measurement.

Here in Isaiah: beautiful is the life/feet/lifestyle/work of the person who pursues 4 things—good news, peace, positive outlook, message of salvation. What Jelly Roll calls “a path toward redemption” 

Straight is simple. Simple is straight. 

Walking presupposes seeing, then thinking, planning, executing. Feet follow gaze. 

As caregivers, let us have beautiful feet by pursuing peace, keeping our mouth shut if our heart is full of pain, and making peace wherever possible to care for our moms.

Peace with men (righteousness) is related to holiness with God. Our faith is what we objectively do, not subjectively believe. Go & show Jesus tells his miracle recipients. 

You will not see God. Or enjoy Him here. Without righteousness & holiness. The vertical plane of H must match the righteous plane of R. And you must do this over time, through life. 

Faith does not take us out of this world, faith deeply ground in the reality of this world. Faith is not like Calgon—"take me away!" Pure religion is to care for helpless in this world, right now, where & how they need help (Ja 1:27). 

If you’re talking but not walking you’re alone. 

Let us have beautiful feet today as caregivers--be they Roman, Egyptian, Greek or whatever
