Footprints

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
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 was 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 most you would leave me."



The LORD replied:


"My son, 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."

Inspirational Quote of Hope January 10, 2009

"With every rising of the sun, Think of your life as just begun. The past is shrived and buried deep all yesterdays; there let them sleep. Concern yourself with but today, Woo it, and to teach it to obey your will and wish. Since time began today has been the friend of man; but in this blindness and his sorrow, he looks to yesterday and tomorrow. You, and today!a soul sublime, and the great pregnant hour of time, with God himself to bind the twain! Go forth, I say attain, attain! With God himself to bind the twain."- Ella Wilcox
