Special Picture...What Do You See?

I have looked all week for a picture to go along with my Thankful Thursday post. I have found so many beautiful pictures. And then I found this one. Yes it is beautiful . But to me it is so much more. It yells a reminder to me. Let me share what I see and you all tell me what you think and what you see...

When I saw this picture I thought of two things..

One..Life is filled with curves...and while they may be hard..we know what is on the other side. God and his love and promises. Looking at this picture I see where the beach curves..and we can not see the other side...but we KNOW what is there...more beach and ocean. Just like we know that God is there around every curve ...

Second I see and love the foot prints. To me it shows a path walked. How many paths we all have walked. Some days I log on and I find that my path is hard and lonely. Other days I log on and I see others walking a path. This picture reminds me ..we all walk a path and we are never alone..

I am so thankful that he carries me on my harder days.

I was walking along the beach with my Lord.

Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand.There was only one set of footprints.

I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

“Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way .But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints.I just don't understand why, when I needed You most,You leave me.”

He whispered, “My precious child,I love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings.When you saw only one set of footprints was then that I carried you.”
