FOOTPRINTS on “Footprints” Poem

All I want to say: Life itself is a spiritual journey.

At valleys of life, life lessons can be learned best. And that’s the point when faith kicks in and help us to see it through

We see with faith

And since faith begets hope,

we of all people are hope filled

For we know there’s more to life

than what meets the eyes.

Footprints Poem

=== By Unknown Author (I prefer to use ‘Unknown’ due to some controversies) ===

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life ,
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it:
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d 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 when I needed you most you would leave me.”

The Lord replied:
“My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
