I found this piece of paper on my floor earlier when I was cleaning. It's really nice, so I thought I'd post it. I hope you like it as much as I did ^_^

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 precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one
set of footprints in the sand
it was then that I carried you."

I absolutely love that story. heart I've seen it in a frame at my g-ma's house. When i first saw it i was 9. It really changed my heart. I had always been a christian, but that was the day i really saw God's compassion and love for his children. That blessed me again, though. Seeing it again. biggrin

Oh my word, I've never heard that before but it's great, thanks for posting it, it's really made me realise something about myself and the fact that God really is always there for me like he says.

It's a good thing to keep on your mind, when it's hard so many of us forget about that. We want to think God forsaked us just like the man in the poem did, but He probably tells many of us the samething all the time, we just aren't listening hard enough.

footprints is one of my faves, as is

1. The Road Not Taken


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I�
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20

That's another beautiful poem, and the story is so uplifting, it cleanses the soul. Many thanks for you both for sharing those.
