   
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~
 It's really amazing how God finds unexpected ways to speak to everyone of us. I went to Sembawang Lib to borrow a particular book yesterday. As I was making my way to the Lib, I spotted a Christian store 'Mount Zion' opposite of the library but didn't think much of it. After getting the book, I was leaving the library and was pretty content with what I have got and so I didn't think I would need anything in the Christian store. But something made me go to the store. I ended buying a Hillsong CD there. While paying for it, the cashier slipped a flyer into my plastic bag. When I took it out to read it, I nearly cried. This was what was shown on the flyer: What We Want and What They Need Why worry about things we don't have Things we're unable to get Is not life more than earthly treasures? And our faith more than mounting debt God has given us something more precious Of more value than priceless stone Nothing the world can produce Compares to worshipping at His throne We can't take earthly treasures with us What we have now will remain [here] So why struggle so hard to possess What is temporal and subject to change The kingdom of God is what matters And the souls left to die alone The lost and the lonely living in despair Those that have no place to call home Just look around at the hopelessness The state our society is in A world untouched by God's generous love Drowning in the darkness of sin It gives us something to focus on As we open our eyes and see For God is screaming out for the lost With tears saying 'come unto me' And we His messengers must go to them And show them His love and grace For nothing will ever change in our world If we don't put action to our faith By M.S.
