MERRY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

I just want to share this story which is quite familiar..
and i hope it would bring in comfort into your life as we welcome 2009 into our lives, casting away 2008.
Cos God is always with us, and will never leave us.
Even if we doubt him sometimes, and we think its all rubbish. He will still be there.

So in this 2009, may it be one that is filled with God's touches and may we continue to strive to know him even better as the days go by.

Footprints

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would 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 in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
