POEMS THAT HAVE HELPED
For every burden that we bear,
For every sorrow, every care,
There's a reason
For every grief that bows the head,
For every tear-drop that is shed,
There's a reason
For every hurt, for every plight,
For every lonely painracked night,
There's a reason
But if we trust God as we should,
All must work out for our good,
He knows the reason.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND.
Sometimes there were two sets of FOOTPRINTS, other times there was one only. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of FOOTPRINTS.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord that if I followed You, You would walk with me always but I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there has been only one set of FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND.
Why, when I have needed You most, You have not been there for me?"
THE LORD REPLIED
"The years when you have seen only one set of FOOTPRINTS, my child,
IS WHEN I CARRIED YOU."
These are the authentic words
