“I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one.”― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
Footprints in the Sand
“One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with
the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In
each, I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were
two sets of footprints; other times there was only one.
During the low periods of my life I could see only one set of
footprints, so I said, “You promised me, Lord, that you would
walk with me always. Why, when I have needed you most,
have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set
of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.” – Margaret Fishback Powers
You are loved, belong and matter.
Not for doing, performing, productivity, status.
For being.
Many will walk through life and never hear this or see this in action.
Each of us can carry, encourage, be kind, considerate, compassionate.
There are days when we need to be carried too.
Carry when you can.
Be carried when you need.
One set of footprints.
It was then I carried you.
