Footprints








I took this photo, it reminded me of the prayer footprints.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd 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 when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

"hahaha the saying couldn't be more truer"









If you look close, you will see Isabel sitting on the floor. Mia and Miranda on each side. Raymond, Elizabeth and Eric in the back ... our van was soo full it was hilarious! We drove around Santa Cruz boardwalk for so many hours it was unreal! They were sooo packed!! When we drove around the parking lots were full, when we passed the darn lot, they opened the over flow, we were so upset. We paid to park in a hotel lot because we were tired of driving forever in the day! When we got out of the van, I am sure people laughed at us because we were a bunch of Mexicans piled in a car LOL!
