#010 FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND


One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each beautiful scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to me, the other to the Lord.  
After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.



This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.  “Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You’d walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was 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 child, I love you and I would never leave you. Never, ever, During your trials and testings, your times of suffering, when you could see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you in my arms.”
God is always good to us, no doubt about it, he knows when is the right time and why things happen even hen sometimes we do not understand them. Share it and comment please.

    God is always with us, but are we always with him?
    Do we follow his rules? Or we just remember that he exists when we have a trouble?
    It's important to analyze that...

      Definitely, however as human beings we make lots of mistakes, so we need to learn from them.

    Well, I loved​ the story. Why? Because it contains a strong message and also emotional. We have to think about it, when you feel alone, don't forget the Lord is carrying you in his arms .☀ :-)

    For me this means that the Lord always accompanies us but since we have to do some things alone since some things are only for us. Lord accompanies us always taking care of us and protecting us and in the most difficult moments is when he takes care of us more.

    I tnink this is a beatiful and reflexive history, why?, because there are people who think that God isn't real because he never helped him, but God is always with us, and in the strongest and the most difficult moments of our lifes. he is giving us more force to continue

      That's true Marco, God is always with us in every moment of our lives, he never abandone us because he loves us. People who doesn't believe in him, generally it is because they were influenced by other people, too.

    In the bad moments of our life, it always costs us a lot to see that God is there. It is very difficult for us to understand why those unpleasant things happen to us. God in the worst moments we welcome and help each other, leads us on the right path. Life is a continuous walk and there is no obstacle to the obstacles that put us on the road. Train trust in the Lord.

      I couldn't agree more, we should train ourselves not trying to understand or finding responses to our questions, but learning from our mistakes and seeing the positive side even in negative times. Thanks for your comment, see you.

    Throughout life, regardless of the belief of God, we are never going to be alone because
    there are always going to be people helping and giving us a hand.
    Although we think that we are going to fall, there are going to be people who listen to us and give us advice to follow the right path, and not divert our purposes.

    I liked the story because it made me think about my worst moments. Now I know that when I feel alone, God always will be with me and this feeling should be the same for everybody.

    When mom died, I really bothered with God, after then I've had many difficult times too, and at all times I always asked the Lord why allows this to mr happen to me? But nowadays I undestand that only He knows why allows things to happen in our life and that it because He loves us and at all is just a learning to make us stronger.
    Now I'm sure that the Lord loves me and He never ever left me alone.

#002 THE MAN, HIS WIFE, THE DONKEY AND THE CRITICS

Image
Our society!!! An old man, his wife and a donkey were going to town. His wife rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along, they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and his wife was riding. The man and his wife thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes his wife walk." So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were fools to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.  Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The woman and her husband figured they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, ...

#004 WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE HERE?

Image
One afternoon, Socrates was standing outside the gates of Athens when he noticed a traveller who had been staring at him for a long time. Socrates asked the man why he had come to Athens. “I am thinking of moving to Athens”, the man said. “What is it like to live here?” He added. Socrates looked at him. “First, would you tell me what it was like in your home city?” The man replied: “Oh, it was awful. Everyone stabs you in the back and wants to steal money from you” Frowning, Socrates told him: “Well, you will find the same thing here. I suggest you go somewhere else” Socrates was standing there a few hours more when another man approached him. This man too had just arrived in Athens and was considering moving to the city. He also asked Socrates, “Can you tell me what it is like to live here?” Socrates asked, “First, would you tell me what it was like to live there where you come from?” “Where I come from, all the people work together and help each other”...

#039 THINK BEFORE YOU JUDGE

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block.  He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the father yelled, “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?” The doctor looked at him and said, “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”. “Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for the doctor, then what will you do?!” said the father angrily.  The doctor smirked and replied, “We will do our best by God’s grace and you should also pray for your son’s healthy life, besides God knows what is the best for us and for them”. “Giving a piece o...
