Sometimes I Read This To Help Me Get Through My Day

FOOTPRINTS

One night I dreamed I was

walking along the beach with the

Lord. Many scenes from my life

flashed across the sky. In each

scene I noticed footprints in the

sand. Sometimes there were two

sets of footprints. Other times

there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my 

life when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow, or defeat, I could

see that only one set of footprints. 

So I said to the Lord, "You

promised me. Lord, that if I

followed You, You would walk with

me always. But I noticed that

during the most trying periods of 

my life there have only been one set

of prints in the sand. Why when I

have needed You most You have

not been there for me?" The

Lord replied my precious child, I

love you and  I would never leave

you. During your times of trial

and suffering, when you see only

one set of footprints it was then

that I carried You.

I'm thankful for the opportunity I've had to travel the world
