It was great to reconnect with an old friend today. Those situations in my life over the past year or so, that moved me to navigate through life alone, finally reminded me how much friends think about us even when we are not involved in each others lives on a daily basis. Our conversation touched upon all the successes and troubles we were facing. The love and support that has never stopped over time. We are truly never alone!
Later in the day, taking a moment to realize how lucky I am, my day reminded me of a short and powerful story that I read some years ago. It encouraged me to remember once again that our thoughts keep us alone much of the time and if we follow our heart we can always feel the love of other no mater what!
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God. 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 unsure of myself during troubling times", I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to God,
“You promised me God,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
God replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
