Hello,
The tracks in the sand!
One night, a man had a dream.
He dreamed that he was walking by the sea in the company of the Lord.
Against the backdrop of the sky, he watched the scenes of his life unfold.
He noticed two parallel sets of footprints in the sand in each scene.
One was his; the other was the Lord's.
In the final scene, he turned around to see the footprints on the beach.
He then realized that at various points in his life,
There was only a single footprint.
And that these moments of solitary walking corresponded
in the saddest and darkest hours of his life.
Intrigued, he says to his companion: "Lord, you assured me that you would always
to walk at my side if I agreed to join You.
But I realize that during the hardest periods of my life,
There is only one footprint left in the sand.
Why did you abandon me at the moment I needed you most?
The Lord then turns to him and answers:
My child, my very dear child, you know that I love you
and that I would never abandon you.
You must understand this: if you only see a single footprint
In the most difficult moments of your existence,
So that's just, simply,
I was carrying you in my arms...
To be meditated upon
Happy reading
Marylena
