Footprints in the Sand
Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to me, the other to the 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."
The Lord replied, "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of suffering, when you could see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Two Days Without Worry
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities, Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

Learn To Appreciate
A man raced down the hospital steps one rainy day and jumped into a passing bus with the remark, "What a beautiful day it is!" The rain was pouring in torrents, it was dreadfully cold and everyone was bemoaning the foul weather. The conductor remarked, half amused, "You must be mad, Mister, to call this a beautiful day."
"You'd be as mad with delight", the man replied with enthusiasm, "If you also had recovered your sight after three years of blindness.
"We should learn to appreciate what we have. Let us enjoy the pleasures that are ours, instead of pining for those we miss.
The following little verse may be remembered in this context
Winter makes us long for Spring
Darkness for the down;
We always seem to miss them most,
Our playmates when they're gone!

Holding Hands
Sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy and a girl,
playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate
sandcastle by the water's edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal
passages.
Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and
knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected the children
to burst into tears, devastated by what had happened to all their hard work.
But they surprised me. Instead, they ran up the shore away from the
water, laughing and holding hands, and sat down to build another castle. I
realized that they had taught me an important lesson.
All the things in our lives, all the complicated structures we spent so much
time and energy creating, are built on sand. Only our relationships to other
people endure.
Sooner or later, the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked
so hard to build up. When that happens, only the person who has somebody's
hand to hold will be able to laugh...
