   
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 been 3 months since I updated this blog. Another 3 weeks before the school holidays and another 2 months before the end of year 2008! So much has happened in this 3 months.... A looming global recession being the biggest thing that has been hogging the headlines in recent weeks. Things can really be so unpredictable, just a few months ago, the economy was booming and everything - housing prices and oil was going up. And now everything is crashing down. It can seem depressing but I also believe that it is in times like these that people will come to truly know and appreciate what are the things that are truly important. Families will grow stronger as they ride out this adversity, children will grow mature as they learn to be more thrifty and perhaps help out their families and deny their many material wants. So my prayer is really that God will turn many hearts to Him for salvation, comfort and strength in the midst of this recession and that people will stop and spend time on what truly matters - human relationships. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5 And this is his promise, no matter what the circumstances are.
