Okee-dokee; so here we go with another beautiful day. One I am loving and thanking our Lord for. I am constantly reminded of this poem, Footprints; it's one of my favorites and I even cross-stitched part of it for a picture in my son's room. I want to share it with you, just in case, some of you may not know what poem I'm thinking of.
Footprints
One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand and to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned my Lord about my dilemma. "Lord, you told me that when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I am aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You leave me." He whispered,"My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never,ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you."
