Words of Wisdom
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 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 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 most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I 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."
Forever

I love you today and
I will love you tomorrow
Just some words
To clear the sorrow
That will never
Leave my heart or yours
From this day forward
You are so special to me
I love you
With all my heart
Always have
And always will
From family and friends
That never end
You will always be with me
As I will always be with you
Until we cross the gates of heaven
There we will always be
Together until the end
LoveY a
One morning you will never wake up .
Do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week,
and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed,
friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said .
Let every one of your friends know you love them;
even if you think they don't love you back.
( You would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do! )
And just in case GOD calls me home before I see you again.... just so you know.... I LOVE YA!!!
Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of battle"
LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO LIVE. STAY YOUNG WHILE YOU CAN AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!
