A philosophical view part-5

In my last part in this series, I could think of nothing more appropriate in these dangerous

and troubling times, then a beautiful poem that has always been my favorite. I would like to print

it out for those who might find peace within its words.

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 foot prints 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 foot prints.

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 would 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 dont 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."

    Kinda reminds me of this one.....

    A lttle girl once asked Jesus, "Lord, how much do you love me?"
    Jesus replied, "This Much Daughter", then he spread his arms and died for her.

    Footprints in the Sand has always been one of my favorites, Abe. Monday, when I return to work, I'll be sure to repay your kindness with a favorite of mine by Khalil Gilbran.image
