THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON YOUR

JOURNEY...

 

 

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES 

 

 

FOOTPRINTS

 

ONE NIGHT A MAN HAD A DREAM. HE DREAMT HE WAS

WALKING ALONG THE BEACH WITH THE LORD. ACROSS

THE SKY FLASHED SCENES FROM HIS LIFE. FOR EACH

SCENE, HE NOTICED TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE

SAND; ONE BELONGING TO HIM, AND THE OTHER TO

THE LORD.

 

WHEN THE LAST SCENE OF HIS LIFE FLASHED BEFORE HIM,

HE LOOKED BACK AT THE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. HE

NOTICED THAT MANY TIMES ALONG THE PATH OF HIS LIFE

THERE WERE ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS. HE ALSO NOTICED

THAT IT HAPPENED AT THE VERY LOWEST AND SADDEST TIMES

IN HIS LIFE.

 

THIS REALLY BOTHERED HIM AND HE QUESTIONED THE LORD

ABOUT IT. LORD, YOU SAID THAT ONCE I DECIDED TO FOLLOW

YOU, YOU'D WALK WITH ME ALL THE WAY. BUT I HAVE NOTICED

THAT DURING THE MOST TROUBLESOME TIMES IN MY LIFE,

THERE IS ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST,

YOU WOULD LEAVE ME.

 

THE LORD REPLIED, "MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS CHILD,

I LOVE YOU AND I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU.

DURING YOUR TIMES OF TRIAL AND SUFFERING,

WHEN YOU SAW ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS,

IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU."
