More than a year ago, I had a painful condition involving my foot. It had been bothering me for a few weeks and hurt so much that I could hardly walk. During this time, I prayed daily the better to see myself as God’s perfect reflection, remembering Jesus’ statement, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48).
After a few more weeks, I woke up one morning and my foot was especially troubling me. It was a day when I was scheduled to volunteer at a pet adoption event about 60 miles away.
It was a beautiful sunny day, so I decided to ride my motorcycle. All the way to the event my foot was painful, and I began to question the wisdom of taking such a trip. I made it to the event and worked for several hours, sitting down as often as I could. But as the pain really started getting to me, I headed home.
