Joshua's Dirty Feet

Joshua seems to always have dirty feet. He goes barefoot most all the time and since he is in constant motion, this leads to having dirty feet. Even in the portraits we had made he had dirty feet (although I didn't realize it until later). The other night I was in enrichment meeting at church and Joshua got away from the nursery sitters and made his way to me. He was squirmy and wanted to play. He was certainly distracting to me, probably to others. I noticed how his feet were dirty and was instantly embarrassed that my boy wasn't cleaned up. That is until I thought about the sister who was sitting next to me. You see she has a son. He is about 20 or so now and has been bound to a wheelchair with severe cerebral palsy his whole life. I bet she would give anything if her boy had dirty feet. All of the sudden I remembered the late Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's advice in conference: "Come what may and love it".
Thank goodness for Joshua's dirty feet.
