You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. I've heard you're such a strong girl and have been through a lot at such a young age. I can't imagine what you've been going through but I know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for you no matter how hard it may be or seem right now. I wanted to write to you and let you know that there are a lot of people that think of you and your family through these hard times and we're all praying for your speedy recovery. I wanted to share this poem with you it always makes me feel better if I'm going through something and I hope it helps you get through these hard times also....
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." |
