This morning at Mass I sat next to the nuns. (The nuns!!!!!!! Love them!!!!!) I was wearing these super cute black wedges I bought a few months ago, and it wasn't long before the nun nest to me was checking them out. (She's a girl...she notices shoes...I like that in my nuns.)
After Mass, she touched my shoulder to get my attention and said "Cute shoes."
"Thanks" I replied.
"I have a soft spot for cute shoes." She admitted. " I always secretly wished to be Dorothy with those glittery red pumps."
"Me, too." I told her, not adding that I own 2 pair of shiny red pumps for just that reason.
"It's the only fly in the ointment, for me, no red shoes." She said laughingly as she walked off toward the nun car.
So, here's my question...she's a nun who always wanted to wear Dorothy's shoes....I happen to have sparkly red stilettos....would it be okay to invite her over for dinner and let her wear my ruby slippers? Would that count as charity or temptation?
Either way, the thought of that nun in 4 inch heels makes me giggle just a bit.

I think she would get a kick out of that! Do it for a feast day! :)
I like nuns! Not in a scandalous way... there is something about them that is an inverse to being a married male man. To me there is something about them that fills the holes in me that I cannot be...
I think "nuns" are my ruby slippers.
What order?
When she comes over, ask if she wants a pen-pal! I still don't know if that is appropriate or not... I just have a soft spot for nuns! I really hope that isn't scandalous to say.
I don't think there's any harm in asking - my only concern would be that she might be struggling with the temptation, and the invitation could...could...be harmful.
In any case, I found a pair of shoes you might like: Lego Shoes. Maybe your sons could make them for you...
I love Sisters. We saw one at Mass the other day and she came and talked to the kids... So cute. I'd be delighted if that were in Maya's cards. :)
I'm a nun... a nun who also loves shoes! I was at a conference yesterday (I'm a teacher) and I was entertaining everyone with my fashion observations and suggestions! Don't worry... we have much greater temptations than shoes... I say keep up the cute joke with her! I'm sure it will be God's grace in her life with that little humor and fun!
