Footprints In The Sand

Santa came on 24th December 2008, realizing one of my many wishes---White Christmas. Yes, this year is a white Christmas.

Santa told me that he knows who has been bad or good this year. And I believe he does. But, do you believe in Santa's existance?

Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. However, today, Christmas seems more of like partying, turkey, dinner, presents... People who celebrate together for this wonderful day is great. But, how many of them really believe in the Saviour Lord Jesus Christ? Do you believe in Him? How many followers of Christ have faith in Him? I have to admit, at sometimes, I did felt alone.

But do we need to see Him to know that he exist? Jesus said, "Happy are those who have not seen, yet believe." Doubt no further, because He has not, and will not, forsaken us. Have faith!

Sharing with you is a very meaningful poem, by an unknown author.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

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 two sets of footprints in the sand.

One belonged 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 that once I decided to follow you,

you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when I needed you the most

you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious, 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 I carried you."
