   
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~
 Dear Lord, Thank You for Your great love for me. You have poured out so many blessings in my life, blessings that I have, ashamedly, taken for granted at times. You have placed me in a wonderful school. And through the school, You have brought me to know You. You have come to my aid in times of trouble. When the behavior of some students were too hard for me to bear, You sent to me helpful colleagues and enabled me to overcome the problem. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to teach. I am thankful for the 3 classes I have taught so far. Though, in the children's eyes, I am their teacher, they have taught me so much more. Their child-like innocence taught me that I have to put aside the cares of the world in order to have joy. Their obedience to my instructions taught me that I have to also be obedient to You. Thank You for placing me in a job which is so fulfilling. As I received 'Thank you' cards from children and parents who grades have improved tremendously, I am touched but more importantly, I am grateful to You because it was You who first loved me and taught me how to love others. Thank You for those trying times. These times have taught me humility and helped me to trust in You. Even when I am crying my heart out, I am comforted to know You are with me and You will guide me. Thank You for never giving up on me. Though I have failed to obey You countless times, You have said in Your word there is no condemnation for God's children. Instead, what I received from you was acceptance, forgiveness and a promise that You 'who started the good work in me will complete it'. Your grace is truly wonderful, Lord. Most importantly, thank You Lord for sending Your son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins. For without Him and what He did, this 'Thank You' letter would not even be possible. Thank You Lord for everything and may You use this letter as a blessing to everyone who reads it. MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 1:40 AM | 0 footprints
