| Footprints in the Sand |
| 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." |
Kidney transplant '04

Temporary catheter
Sometimes I get sick of being sick.
I ask myself "why me?".
I hate that I have to take medicine every day, morning and night.
I am never happy to get my blood drawn once a month for the rest of my life.
Why not me?
We were sent here to face trials.
Trials make us stronger.
Physically and Spiritually.
God is good.
Prayer is good.
Scripture is good.
Family is good.
My life..... is good.
