Footprints
One night a man had a dream...
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across they sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before them, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times during 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 would 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 in times when I needed you most, you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
As the tears of a nation are upon you at this time of trial and suffering for those in Oklahoma, I pray for you the peace of God's love as he carries each of you through this devastation.
