Footprints in the Sand

 

One night I dreamed a dream.
As 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.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would 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,
It was then that I carried you.”

    Very sorry to hear of Patti’s passing. We worked together for many years at Reagan Buick and I watched her grow professionally as a female service advisor in then a car business dominated by males. She eagerly took on all challenges as this was the age when computers were first being used and she jumped right in. Always eager to please her customers and she became very knowledgeable about automobiles, I figured her capable husband was coaching and teaching her. She was always considerate and generous to anyone she came in contact with. We have lost a wonderful person.

    When I met Patti many years ago we struck up an instant friendship. Treasured Memories come to mind of Patty and I working on the 4th of July parade together and making it a success we were very proud of ourselves. Are granddaughter spent a lot of time together and we enjoyed the bond that the girls developed.. rich and my husband Ron had some good dinners together. Patty was not only fun she was a loving and caring person. My deep condolences and my prayers go to everyone in the family
