While I was cleaning out my purse today, I came across this poem which I'm sure we're all familiar with. However, as I read it through again, I gave thanks to God for His sustaining power; for His love and compassion toward us. The truth of the matter is He is more concerned about what is going on in my family than I am. I know His heart is broken; especially concerning the innocent. Maybe you yourself are going through a trial of some kind; take courage and read this poem through, believing that God does care and will answer in His time!
FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream, and in his dream he reviewed the footsteps he had taken in his life. He looked and noticed that all over the mountains and difficult places that he had traveled there was one set of footprints but over the plains and down the hills, there were two sets of footprints, as if Someone had walked by his side. He turned to Christ and said, "There is something I don't understand. Why is it that down the hills and over the smooth and easy places You have walked by my side; but here, over the tough and difficult places I have walked alone, for I see in those areas there is just one set of footprints."
Christ turned to the man and said, "It is that while your life was easy I walked along your side; but here, where the walking was hard and paths were difficult, was the time you needed Me most, and that is why I carried you."
I pray this brings you comfort today just as it has me, and thank you for your prayers. ~ Sandi

I loved your comment on my blog. I'm sure the crying at a graduation is overwhelming. God did give us Mommies these hearts though, didn't he.
ReplyDeleteAbout your post whatever the situation I will be praying for you and your family. Remember somehow God wants there to be a testimony and to draw us closer to him. Even when the innocent are involved. I love for my 8 year old to say Pslams 23 to me when I am down, sick or defeated. He will restore your soul!
