The footprints of God


I found this, this a.m. and found it touching and thought I would share.

In deepest sleep one night, I dreamed that on the beach I walked.
God was by my side each step and quietly we talked.
Then on the sky my life was flashed; the vision all serene.
Two sets of footprints in the sand were there in every scene.
But then I noticed in some scenes of suffering, pain, and strife...
Just a single set of footprints at the worst times of my life.
"God--- you said you'd stay by me - In good times and in bad...
Why then did you leave me each time my life was sad?"
"My precious child," God answered, "When you life had pain,  I knew,
The single set of footprints were the times I carried you."

Lesson of the day... Let go and let God.  smile

When the world said "Give Up."  HOPE whispered... "Try One More Time."

Peace.

J...that is an oldie and a keeper.  I've been around recovery for a long time and that
has been here longer.   Untold numbers of the fellowship have that firmly apart of
their relationship with a power greater than themselves.  Thanks for uncovering it
and bringing it here.   ((((hugs)))) smile

Amen!!!!!  God has carried me thru much in my life....just when I was about to give it all up I woke in his arms because I as well was unable to walk alone.  Amazing and thank you.

With Hope
Andrea
