One night, I had a wondrous dream;
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
"Those prints are large and round and neat,
But, Lord, they are too big for feet."
"My child," He said in somber tones.
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of-faith you would not know.
So I got tired and fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt,
Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand.<p> [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

OB1</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Thank you OB1. Yup, I must say The Big Man Upstairs has made me land on my butt. (That's why he made it so big [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] ) But want to know the cool thing... Whenever I'm ready to "take a stand" He is ALWAYS there to lend a hand up.

Buttprints! Hahahaha. Ain't that the truth...I love it, Ohbratti. Where do you get these things? I think my prayer would include "Faceprints" for I have unceremoniously, in many cases, fallen flat on my face.<p>Love<p>catnip =^^=

Just wanted to bring this up. We have all been there at one time or another. So have our wayward spouses. How many times have they been dropped?

Hey, when we get dropped on our butts in the sand, before we get up and move on, we could always lie on our backs and make some sand angels--you know, like snow angels. Might cover up the butt prints.<p>MJ
