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?

I have been struggling with a lot of severe anxiety due to doubtful thoughts I just read this poem at the recommendation of my dad and I burst in to tears I am always going to remember this when ever I am anxious.
Beautiful! Tearjerker
I first heard 'Foot steps in the sand', when I was in Sunday school in 1952, shortly after being told that the King had died. It has stayed with me always. From it I learned that our Lord is always with us and that should we stray from the way He will be there, AS HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN!
Hi
This has been a long time favourite of mine first read it about 35 years ago and till this day will never tire of reading it...truly a good boost poem..God Bless
Love it
Now I am 62 year old, when I was 26 year old I saw this wording written in a palmflet of pharmaceutical company. It touched like anything in my heart, I asked the doctor and he gave that piece of beautiful paper and made it laminated and kept on wall of room. This wording of God is written in my heart. We human beings must understand the love of God and His caring. Thank you God.
Beautiful comforting
I have loved this poem ever sense I was a young boy. My mother showed it to me for the first time when I was really young by taking it down from our wall. Now when I read it, it reminds me of he.
Very nice & everyone will get True faith & confident of The God. Thanking your honour.
It's a year today that I/we lost my DAD, so I came down to walk along Rainbow beach. As I was walking this beautiful poam came to mind.
Very fitting.

I have lost my entire immediate family. Sister, father, mother, brother, and my son. Now, I am casted the responsibility of carring for my wife due to a serious stroke. Lord have mercy!
Sometimes i dont want to go through this battle my mom sent me this beautiful poem but i dont think i can make it
This is very good
I read this poem when I was a boy and it has always stuck with me, it's so powerful and shows how we can perceive somthing different, more so when we are down. To me it shows a constant that is always there we just need to have faith in all we do and do it with love and good intentions. God is always there for you if u want or need Him. Thanks Baz ?
My grandmother had a picture hanging on the wall with this story written on it, This brings back so many wonderful memories
I lost my two brothers one in Dec 2019 and the other 12 days ago from the complications of COVID-19. I lost my two sisters 5 years ago as well as my parents. I am the only survivor if my family. I have a hole in my heart only the Lord can heal. I would like to purchase two pillows one for me and one for my sister in law. She was married to my brother 40 years. Her heart is broken, I speak to her of Gods love for her and always tell her God will carry you when you can not walk. I love you Diane ?
Most touching gift. Samples of the love that's given to us every day.
Breathe-taking!
