Carolyn Carty Poem
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 of his life. This really bothered him and questioned the Lord
about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
However, I noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life there was
only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you
would leave me."
The Lord replied, " my precious, 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."

Carolyn Carty Poem
The other night I dreamed a vivid dream, Gods presence was in our life; our lives
were so serene. While dreaming it depicted the both of us walking hand in hand
through this life together. As we walked along the beach so very happily one day,
I listened very carefully to the words God had to say. And in my dream, I dreamed
God was there for us. I saw the scenes of our lives being together & sharing total
trust.
Noticing the troubled times that we did defeat, God kept us safe & warm keeping
our lives complete. In times, we often saw ourselves and others filled with fear.
And through those times God's face had shown, his love did appear. When it
seems that, others had often turned away that they had not seemed to care. God
often shed his grace on us calming all our tears. It is not hopelessness or
sorrow, but total happiness, the gift God gave to us.
For while noticing our footprints, God was pleased to follow us. And this is why I
love you, as we walk along in this life together with God's footprints & each other.
Together hand in hand we sharing our love, just as God had planned. Our one
set of footprints, our footprints for each other, knowing we are there to celebrate
our lives & love each day with one another.
The Lord then reassuringly walked along with us, for the love of Our Father God
the one we have come to trust.

Carolyn Carty Poem
Pray for us, for we trust
We have a good conscience
In all things willing
To live and love honestly
That we may walk towards them
That are without
And that they may have
Lack of nothing
For what is our hope
Our joy for others
That the just
Do live by faith
And by believing in thee
Believe in the saving of the soul
That faith is the substance
Of all things hoped for
For what is our hope our joy
For the glory of the word of the Lord
This day as it is each & every day
The footprints of his faith
