Footprints One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my #life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and One to my Lord. When the last scene of my #life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest And saddest times of my #life. This always bothered me And I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. "Lord, You told me when i decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But i'm aware that during the most troublesome Times of my #life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you say only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you." - Margaret Fishback Powers

The 23rd Psalm The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or through the darkest valley), I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my #life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
