Had this sent to me the other day. It really says where I am right now and I'm actually happier for it. It is time that I stand on what I believe, even for the restoration of my marriage. Here goes:<P>One night I had a wondrous dream,<BR>One set of footprints there was seen,<BR>The footprints of my precious Lord,<BR>But mine were not along the shore.<BR>But then some stranger prints appeared,<BR>And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"<BR>Those prints are large and round and neat,<BR>But Lord, they are too big for feet."<BR>"My child, He said in a somber tone,<BR>For miles I carried you alone.<BR>I challenged you to walk in faith,<BR>But you refused and made Me wait.<BR>You disobeyed, you would not grow,<BR>The walk of faith, you would not know,<BR>So I got tired, I got fed up,<BR>And there I dropped you on your butt.<BR>Because in life, there comes a time,<BR>When one must fight, and one must climb,<BR>When one must rise and take a stand,<BR>Or leave their butt prints in the sand."<P>This summer I ended up on my butt and I'm glad I did. My H was trying hard and it wasn't enough, or so I thought. There comes a time when we must just accept things and move on. Thank God I am still moving on with my H.<P>Hope you enjoy the new take on "Footprints".<P>------------------<BR>eyes wide open<BR>

HI THANKS I MADE A COPY FOR MY WIFE!! <P>------------------<BR>desperate<BR>"If yesterday didn't stop today, Why should TODAY stop tomorrow??" <BR>"Wisdom is why!!"<P>

Please Help,<P>Your welcome! Figured there must be someone out there who could use the message of this poem. I guess I'd rather be on my butt in the center of God's will then standing strong in my own feeble strength.<P>------------------<BR>eyes wide open<BR>

I look at my sand and see the round neat prints with long trails all around them.<P>Sometimes Jesus dragged me kicking and screaming whether I wanted to go or not! <P>And I thank the Lord every step of the way.<P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

That about says it all....<BR>I think I was finally dumped on my keister 2 weeks ago....no more burying my head in the sand and not dealing with stuff...<BR>It's funny how I got such a jolt when I read that!! <BR>Thank you, Taj!!
