Presence

A Manzanita illustration of the famous poem, “Footprints In The Sand.”
Walking with God through life, the poet sounds an accusing tone: You walked with me, God, in all the good times, but in the tough times you abandoned me. I know that because there is only one set of footprints instead of two. In reply, the Lord corrects this mistaken observation.
No, I didn’t leave you alone. When you see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Ever notice one set of footprints when you look back over your life? Probably. Welcome to the human race. The Spirit works in us and through us, even when we don’t know it’s happening. What love that is! Be grateful for the unfailing strength and love that sustains us through all circumstances.

St. Paul was correct: ”Love never gives us, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
