The other day I took a walk in the park. It was a gorgeous fall day with the sun shining and warm breezes blowing. And yet...my heart felt lonely and sad. Even as I talked with my Best Friend, the tears wouldn't stop rolling down my face. Life seemed hard. I didn't think I could climb even one more small hill. As I trudged along with my nose to the ground, suddenly on the sidewalk before me I saw this sign:
I took a second look. I couldn't believe it! Did God put that there just for me?? I had to smile through my tears. Whether or not He did, I decided to take it.A couple days later I was reading the story of the "Footprints" poem. I've always loved that poem. Here are a few lines:
"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."
-Margaret Fishback Powers
You might call me old-fashioned, disillusioned, gullible or superstitious but I believe God is planning EVERY MINUTE DETAIL of my life! And He will use anything and anybody He chooses!
