Most everyone knows the footprints in the sand story.

All I can say about that is I'm glad He's strong.  

Because I know there are times that I'm heavy.

Amen WolfBrother, I love this poem. I love it so much, I have it on a keychain.

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
footprints 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 footprints.

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'd 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 don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my 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."

Oh yes. I heard this first time not 2 weeks ago. And I was so touched by the idea of the poem. Man, that's how it goes.
Only now I do have to understand this fully. Smiley

I can imagine it is not easy to accept that explanation when you're in bad times. But I try. I really try.
