One Shoe On and One Shoe Off

You know with 8 children, you are bound to loose something.  At least we didn't loose any children.

I casually yelled back to the kids in the van and said, "Now, put your shoes on, we'll be stopping in 5 minutes to grab a bite to eat."  Then to my surprise, John Mark said, "I can't find one of my tennis shoes!"  He had it on earlier in the morning and had walked to the van.  We hadn't gotten out of the van since all the kids had piled in one by one.  Where could the shoe have gone?  Surely it was just stuck under the seat, or was shoved off to the corner.  We scoured the van.  It was not there.

We figured that it might have fallen out when a police officer opened up the van door to see who was in the van at the Guatemala/Mexico border. With all the commotion, that was probably when the tennis shoe fell out.

So, someone along the Mexico/Guatemala border there is probably someone who found a tennis shoe and is looking for a matching one.  Meanwhile, there is one large family here in the city that has one less matching pair of tennis shoes.

There was a young lady who lived in Guatemala,

She had so many shoes, she did not know what to do.

You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.
