Footprints


	Footprints f11.0, ISO 400, 1/250, Sunset, Oak Island, NC. The Footprints poem has always been one of my favorites & I wanted to create something that would reflect the poem. My husband & I found the footprints on the beach & I added the heart with a sand writing brush. See comments for the poem. Michelle R. Kovach

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."
