LIFE
We all have our own idea on what life is all about. Some of us think we have the answers. And the rest of us don't care.
We have lost all hope and faith.
I believe that's when it all starts.
When we hit rock bottom and can't go any further. And our friends and family have grown weary ....
That's when we realize that there is one, just one who is not only waiting for us to reach out but also carrying us the last mile of the way.
:o)
Faith, that's all you need....
It is at these times when `FOOTPRINTS'
echoes in my mind, soul and body.
FOOTPRINTS
One night I had a dream ....
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
And across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed 2 sets of footprints in the sand;
One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me, and I 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 the most, you should leave me."
The Lord replied,
"My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one (1) set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

And it is then once I am able to know, feel, believe and understand that I was never alone and will never be alone .....
I recite The Serenity Prayer.
GOD
Grant me the
Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change....
COURAGE
to change the things I can....
and
WISDOM
to know the difference....
Amen
