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 noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed You most,
You have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."
This was written by Mary Stevenson and distributed by Mary to those who needed something to give them comfort at a low point in their lives.
The reason for this post, I found out today that my mom's illness is Terminal / Stage Four, and have to undergo chemo therapy. May I ask for a small favor, please keep my mom and my dad in your prayers .
Thank you, I appreciate it
