   
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 the set 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 once I decided to follow you, you 'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troubled times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you would leave me when I needed you most."
The Lord replied,"My child. My precious child. I love you and 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."

~Footprints of my Life~
 Will You Love Jesus More I feel quite sure if I did my best, I could maybe impress you With tender words and harmony; a clever rhyme or twoBut if all I've done in the time we've shared Is to turn your eyes on me Then I failed in what I've been called to do There's someone else I want you to see Will you love Jesus more when we go our different ways? When this moment is a memory, will you remember His face? Will you look back and realise You sensed His love more than you did before? I pray for nothing less than for you to love Jesus more. I'd like to keep these memories in frames of gold and silver And reminisce a year from now about the smiles we've shared But above all else I hope you will come To know the Father's Love And when you see the Lord face to face You'll hear him say "well done" This song really struck a chord in my heart. You can hear this song by clicking on Pastor Wesley's blog. It made me think of all the Christians who have helped me in one way or another. The most significant being Aunt Toon Fung who selflessly offered her help to Mum when she was depressed and I was having hectic choir practices at that time. I am eternally grateful for her help but when I say 'thank you' to her, she tells me to 'thank God'. She says that God had used her as a vessel to help us. I think this song spells out very clearly what she was trying to say to me at that time. She was happy that I was grateful to her but she would be happier if we had experienced God's love through her help. Though we don't really meet much nowadays, I now definitely love Jesus more as compared to the past and I believe she would be so happy for me. =) God's love is definitely supreme. I remembered that time when I sat with Aunt Toon Fung outside the hospital, she told me that God is a Father to the fatherless. He can heal all wounds in our hearts and make us complete. I wept when I heard that. Anyway, I fell very sick yesterday. Had a high fever yesterday night but it got better after I took antibiotics. Nevertheless, I felt groggy when I woke up this morning. It just happens that I had to teach from 930 to 530 pm. After the first session ended at 1230 pm, my fever had gotten so bad that I felt that my brains were being boiled. I just couldn't concentrate, much less teach. So I was praying and praying that God would give me the strength for the 2nd session. There must have been angels watching over the children for the 2nd session. Time passed so quickly because they were such a joy to teach, they were spontaneous so I didn't have to speak much but still well-behaved, so different from the kids in the morning session where I had to keep probing them to give me answers! Although I really think I fell sick at a really bad timing, it actually made me appreciate God's work in my life even more. I still have to teach from 930 to 530 pm tmr... Gonna be another hard and tiring day...I pray that God will bless me tmr. =) MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 9:13 PM
