Footprints in the Sand
Footprints in the Sand, a beautiful poem!
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
Would you like a print of that?

Thank you. My very Best Friend sent this as a reminder to me, and I needed it right now. We get caught up in life and all that it encompasses and we know God is there, but we forget He’s really there.

My husband passed away last Sunday and this poem is what got me through this week I think I have gone over it in my mind over and over
This poem has touched and continues to touch the hearts of everyone that reads it. The words mean so much to myself and my family, especially at this time of personal loss. It inspires us to keep moving forward and always remember the love and support we receive even when we do not always realise it is, and has always been there.

It’s an absolutely fantastic peace of poem and a true reflection of my life which I did not know until I accepted Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior. God has always carried me during my worst moments and will always do till judgment day.
