Footprints in the sand

There are a few poems that everyone has heard but just in case you never have read this poem, I am posting it today because it's a classic. The tittle of the poem is Footprints in the sand. 

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
‘You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?’

The Lord replied,
‘The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.’

I am so grateful for all those times in my life when the Lord carried me as I needed Him the most! I know He is there when we need Him. All we need to do is ask for His help and He will come to our aid.  

Con amor,
