A Walk with our Lord by the Sea Shore
(Footprints)
One night a man
had a dream that 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, the other belonging 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, and 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 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 precious, 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."

Give your
burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the
godly to slip and fall.
- Psalm 55:22 (New Living Translation)
God bless you and yours.
