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?

Loved this thought for 40 years so far. Still as relevant today as it was when I got it in junior high.
Thanks for sharing it.
God’s carried me a lot. I write up a timeline list where one can see God carry me. Broken enGAGement, car crash, death of Mother, abandonment, love,..... Christ’s right beside me, carrying me.

Saw several times at a holiday booth in mall. Plan to get several copies for Xmas gifts. Didn't know biblical.
I love this ??
It is not Soam. I had a dream from my mother last night. She read this everyday. I found a copy in her handwriting last night. My family in a turmoil. She asked me snd my two daughters to read. I texted them this am. I would live for them and me to have a copy please
This is my favorite poem. It has been since I was little. My mom used it when my brother passed away. I live by this poem every since I was young. I even used it for a speech college course. Awesome poem. It picks me up every time
Suddenly when I was feeling a bit down because of a good friend who is dealing with a MAJOR illness, I thought of this Beautiful POEM that MY MOM kept on the Wall in my childhood home. In tears I just sent it to her, But I realized...I too needed it.
Those last two lines were dope! It took me a long time to understand that I am meant to experience many tests and trials. I stopped looking up... I have no concern to look down... Though I continue to keep looking forward... Even though yes I still look back...I always expected myself to be just walking in life alone...hmmh?...so those last two lines bring me an interesting aspect.
I have all way s known this poem for many years when I am felling low it blesses me. Rosemary
Love that poem. It is beautiful and very meaningful.
I like it
This has been my best, Even just Sunday he was sitting by my side, a truck and RV, the turnpike, the bad roadway, a bad bridge, hiwinds, a fast truck and I could feel all going Bad, and in two seconds it was like a hand reached down and put us back on track.
Thanks again Father

It' snot just a Poem, it's our lives in writ! As a Poet myself, I can see the layers of this genius inspired by the HS.
My footprints always disappear, and the larger ones, I' m so glad are there!
Print it, read it, put in youre Bible, know it is He who keeps the Momentum going when we stumble and are about to fall, he scoops us up, thats why theres no big dentsin the sand.
No matter how many times I hear that message it never loses its potency
Thanks for putting this poem out there. Like many, I have heard it before. Now, I am reminded again of "Footprints" as we are studying the Gospel of Mark.
