Footprints Prayer.


Footprints in the Sand

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 in the sand;
One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
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 the 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."

How Old is Grandpa? Can you Guess?

The age might just take you by surprise.  It did me.  Stay with this -- the answer is at the end.  It will blow you away. One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.. The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before : *   television, penicillin, polio, shots, frozen, foods, Xerox, contact, lenses, Frisbees and      the pill There were no: *   credit cards, laser beams or  ball-point pens Man had not invented: *  pantyhose *  air conditioners *  dishwashers *  clothes dryers the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and  man hadn't yet walked on the moon Your Grandmother and I got married first, .. ... ... and then lived toge...

"Ignorance" - There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.- Goethe

Abraham Lincoln: It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Albert Einstein: Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Amos Bronson Alcott: To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant. Blaise Pascal: You always admire what you really don't understand. Daniel J Boorstin: The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge. Dorothy Thompson: One cannot be disillusioned of what one never put faith in. George Eliot: Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us worthy evidence of the fact. Henry B. Adams: Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. Henry David Thoreau: A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, an...
