Very cool and thanks for sharing. I love to see this sort of thing because it always gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Resentment was one of my number one offenders along with a mixed bag of other undesirable character traits I am constantly watching out for. I did not even know they were there until I had help to identify them. They come back once in a while but through a little self-awareness and a simple process beyond myself they are either greatly reduced or removed completely. It is so cool because I never was good at fixing myself and it feels like I have a PhD(peace, happiness, direction) in life now. As long as my motives are divorced from self it works beautifully. I remember the first time I read this poem I was completely floored. I hope you guys like it
Footprints in the Sand By Mary Stevenson
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
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 suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
“ You promised me Lord,
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?”
The Lord replied,
“ The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”Last edited by AndrewK; 05-04-2012 at 09:18 AM.
