I love painted toe nails. I used to love my feet. I thought they were the best part of me. Now my big toes point a little the wrong way and I have this annoying bump that gets in the way of my favorite shoes and my heels need constant scraping. It sure is easy to see all those imperfections as a constant reminder that I'm not very perfect, even my once thought (probably only by me), beautiful feet... but...Man, I sure am blessed that I can stand and walk and run, at times, and still bend over enough to paint my toe nails.
I don't know anyone more blessed than me. I am not sure why I of all people on this planet should hold the record for the most blessings. I feel kind of sorry for the rest of the population. But I am humbly grateful beyond words.
Besides the obvious, painted toenails, my family tops the list closely followed by the faith I love and cherish. Well I suppose they are really a tie, top of my list together. I don't think I could love my family quite as much as I do without the gospel to give me clarity and perspective. I owe it all to my Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ. They are the gospel and the root of my faith. I don't want to sound too churchy but when I start to count my blessings, each little thing and each big thing, I always end up back here...the Father and the Son. It is truly where all my blessings begin and where all my gratitude returns.
Will I be able to have painted toenails in Heaven? Maybe I'll just settle for big toes that point the right way. Blessings, blessings...Thank heaven!

Painted toe nails or not, you're beautiful to us!
What color? Oh please say "Barbie Pink" or "Hey Baby Red"! I hope you went with something feisty. Rarrr! I'll treat you to a birthday pedicure when you come to visit us! I wish Cait could come. I also wish I had gotten your feet instead of dad's pizza boxes. Still, I am pretty dang blessed myself.
