Footprints in the Sand

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 was one only.

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 has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Mary Stevenson, 1936

Sometimes I feel you are overwhelmed or frustrated. Typically I only give advise if requested. You are strong spirited, headed, willed Lass that is sufficiently stubborn after life’s school of hard knocks experiences. As we are on Dad’s team Nothing is Impossible ! My Pop used to say a wise will take/seeks counsel/advise from many. A foolish man will takes counsel from none. This life may be lonely trying to be an island unto yourself. Not that anyone needs a third party broker for your personal Divine Revelation of Truths you seek. Sometimes Dad sends mere mortals in

In response to our quests , options, alternatives or inspirational ideas. Especially if we feel we have hit a wall or Dad is silent. Sometimes teaching us patience. His answer is no or he has no preference as to which door we open. Fasting & prayer are a neglected key to seek Personal Divine Revelation & Confirmation….Anywho, you have accomplished more than you realize. Most Lasses would not have survived the fiery darts that you have. Think of those who we have in life that have not made it this far and left this life. I sense you are under tremendous pressure as you are

In the midst of making a procession of life changing decisions and are sensitive to the gravity of those choices before you. Usually our first thoughts , gut feelings, intuition, understanding,ideas, impressions are correct subject to confirmation that they are Divinely Inspired. Anywho, you likely are mindful of these principles….
