Naked Man Moleskin
The following poem is very popular and most of you have probably heard it before. It is by Carolyn Joyce Carty and it is called Footprints In The Sand
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.”
My grandmother had given me this poem when I was very young and I really didn’t think much about it until much later in my life. Many times in our life we think the Lord has abandoned us but another old quote from my grandmother was that the Lord doesn’t give you anything that you can’t handle.
If there is something particularly hard in you life right now, find the higher purpose for this challenge and rise to meet it. And you don’t have to do it alone. The purpose of the hardship may be to teach you to ask for help.
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
