Footprints in the sand 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 delonging 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 noticed that during the most troublesome times in 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 son, my 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 that I carried you." for you Matty love and miss you every day uncle Andrew & Ian

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
