Footpirints In The Sand

Hi everyone,

I just came across this and thought of me and my HP. I wanted to share it with you.

Take care,

Carol

*******************************

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
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 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,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."

Hi Carol,


Have always loved this Footprints in the Sand. So many of us can relate to being carried, and surviving, and the looking back.  Awesome read,   Thank You, and Thank You God, for carrying me......through.
