right or left?

So, I was wondering if I've got a case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or if I'm just plain normal. When I put my socks and shoes on, I ALWAYS start with the left foot. I'm right handed and even if I pick up my right shoe, I'll put it down and grab the other.
My kids... still too young to put their own shoes on so I do it. Odd, I always start with their right foot, which is on the left when they face me when I'm donning their shoes. My 4 year old wears foot braces (AFO's not to be confused with UFO's) and I will complete one whole foot sock, AFO, shoe before moving onto the other foot. Why don't I do both socks, then both braces, and finally both shoes? Why are we wired the way we are? My husband puts both socks on and then his shoes. Just curious, how to you donn and doff your socks and shoes?

This is the second time this has happened to me lately, I just start off writing something down and it kind of takes a devotional form. I wonder if God is up to something! Read on and enjoy His sense of humor!

Devotion to think about:
Ephesians 6:15 "And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace ."


How long can anyone walk gravel road without a decent pair of shoes? What if the shoes are on the wrong feet? What if they are scuffed and have holes in them? My Crocs are wearing thin on the bottom and when I step on a pebble, I can feel it good, and not in a good way.
So with the armor of God that we are supposed to put on daily, what are these shoes of peace??
And what if we leave home without our peace shoes? When we leave home without physical shoes, our feet would get tired and sore real fast. And depending on where we are going, it may just be impossible to go barefooted. So spiritually speaking, God wants us to be fitted for peacemaking. When we are out in the world and encountering battles, we need to have the right shoes on. What soldier do you see wearing slipper socks? No, they wear heavy steel-toes giant boots that lace all the way up to their knees.

How do we get this peace shoe? Whether you put it on the left or the right foot first, the shoes come from knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

More of Ephesians 6:
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes...so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand firm.

Stand firm friends!
And let me know how you put your shoes and socks on!
