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?

Amazing, lucky to have read this poem
I'm so happy to have found this website!
I had this poem in my Bible but lost it when I was homeless and on the street. As soon as possible I get some money I'm going to order from you
Thanks
I love this poem. It's the greatest one of all
2 years ago my neighbour rushed to our house for help. Her 21 yr old son had died of sudden adult death. We saw her son. 6 months later on my husband's birthday she came again. Her husband had died of Cancer. We saw him in his final moments too. This poem helps me but we also got it on a cushion for her 13yr old to hold when he feels he needs to know god is there x
I felt this poem was needed right about now, july 2020, when people are going through so much uncertainty, overwhelmed with everything, suffering in silence, and just tired of hope! I shared this with words of encouragement on my social media page!
I have read this before It is so true, with grateful heart have believed and trusted He has carried me many, many times In my 89 years.
By far the most beautiful poem I have ever read.
Hi
Do you make the footprints in the sand poem into a fridge magnet?
Brilliant. I remember this poem so well from my childhood days.
In the same vein of this poem, I invite readers to also read a poem called "Mates" written by Australian WWII Vet and PoW, Duncan Buttler (Google it). While "Mates" is not a religious poem as such, it is a poignant example of how humans help other in their darkest times. My father was a Japanese PoW and I included "Mates" in his Funeral Booklet. It was a hit !
This is the most poignant and trustworthy poem I always remember from my parents.
I love how the poem says God is always with us
I'm making this poem into a cross shape with the words cut out with my laser because i love it so much, it's a present for my mum,
How can I get a copy of this.I love it and want to hang on my memory wall in my house.
My oldest and very special grandson just got killed in an accident. We are all grieving and crying continually. His only sibling says she doesn't know how she'll get thru it. Could you please send us some comforting words? We love the poem "footprints"

Beautiful story of Foot Steps In The Sand..I live by Gods words of love he has for me..How Great Thou Are..
My life has not been easy but it has been blessed. Through the trials and the worst of times I, to my shame, railed at the Lord. I was angry and full of self-pity trying to find someone to blame.
I look back now and can see that many of the trials I faced should have finished me off but over and over and over again I survived and, on occasion, prospered. I realize now that for every time I was knocked down God picked me up, every single time I cried out in the night God answered me, and every time I thought I was alone in the world he held my hand.
This poem is the epitome of those times and I truly love it, it brings me great comfort and reminds me of God's love.
For all of the people out there struggling, to those fighting to find the light amidst so much darkness remember hope floats- It cannot be smothered and cannot be drowned, it's a gift directly from God's heart to yours.
The Lord never gives us more than we can handle, he sees our strength even when we cannot, and only gives the hardest battles to his toughest soldiers so have faith.
God bless.
My best friend Karen absolutely loves this beautiful poem. It reminds her of her Mother. That unfortunately won't be with Us much longer.?. I also truly adore this one and it helps with My other 2 life long best friends being in Heaven already. Thanks
Footprints gets me through the saddest times in my life!
Ideas can make Heaven into Hell and vice versa.

I LOVE this poem. It is giving me great comfort while going thru some very challenging txs and surgeries for multiple conditions that have no cure. I would luv the square blue print/picture and the pillow. Can u email me on where to order and the price?

I bought a picture of this saying 38 years ago in India. I wish I still had , the Faith to believe.
Just sitting here thinking of this verse, looked it up & here it is.
