2011 has been a very rough year for our family, but I will have to say that this last week topped the charts. (I should have known it was going to be a bad year when Paislee broke her leg on Jan. 1st) I had a very good friend tell me, if she could take some of my bad luck, trials, and sorrow away and put it on her own shoulders, she would. Now that's true friendship! As I was driving home from yet another bad news appointment the thought came to me that there was defiantly only one set of footprints in my sand right now. Thank you Heavenly Father for helping me through the extremely rough times I have had.
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,
is when I carried you."
