My
Angels, My Friends ---Donna Boyd
I forgot about your angels,
Lord That they stay always near
To help me through my days
When I’m feeling fear.
I forgot when I’m distressed
And anticipating harm
That they are ever ready
To hold me in their arms.
I admit sometimes it’s hard
And my human eyes don’t see.
And I still feel alone
Even though an angel is with me.
I just need to remember
That You promised us their care.
And it just takes faith
To realize they are there.
Footprints in the Sand --- author unknown
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 belonged 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 the most you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then I carried you."
