Today I found some quiet time just for "my Heavenly Father and me, I feel so cleansed after spending time alone. I was also reminded, no matter when I think I am alone he is always there beside me
Psalm 32:1-2
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit
| 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 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." |

ReplyDeleteI know you enjoy "sky watching"....me too. I especially like the night sky during winter...the stars are so bright. I am often struck with the thought, that Abraham and Sarah walked under these same stars as they left Ur to follow God....as have so many others. It is an awesome thing to be reminded of. HE is so good toward us.
Blessings on your week, my friend!
