-- If you ever feel sad or lonely, just remember this....

Talking If you ever feel sad or lonely, just remember this....

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonged to him, and the other to the lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

or you can remember this one too...

One night a little boy had a dream. He was on a beach with god. He wasn't surprised to see god on the beach, because if you were god, where would you be? I know that if I was god, and I wasn't on a beach, then I'd want to be in one of those big pits filled with coloured plastic balls.

That's a famous poem called footsteps isnt it? heard that like 15 years ago...and yes I love the story...GO JEBUS!

The story is called "Footprints". The first time I read it was when I was in 7th grade, after I got in a really bad car accident. My family is jewish, and I'm not really religious, but something about that story is very comforting.

Re: If you ever feel sad or lonely, just remember this....

I was watching a comedy stand up with Ellen Degeneres, and she said the poem, but with a twist at the end...(She doesnt say it exactly the same, but very similar)

One night a I had a dream. I dreamt I was walking along the beach with you, Jesus. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonged to me, and the other to the you.

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

This really bothered me and I questioned the lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I JUMPED ON YOUR BACK."

This is where she ends it off with "You know, I thought I felt kinda heavy on those days..."

Hehe, she cracks me up with some of her stories, I dont find her to be an exceptional comedian, but I dont find her to be horrible.

yea but black muslims are very common. black jews on the other hand..

it would only make sense if they converted.

well im sure there are some around, but u dont see them around here very often thats for sure.


Posted by starsearcher on Jun-22-2004 21:06:

Here yes it's quite uncommon but it exists

It's very common. There are soooo many Persian/Jews out here in Southern Cali. Besides, religion is a choice. It has nothing to do with what nationality you are. Whether you're black, white, chinese, japanese... you can be jewish, if you want to be.

Anyway...

Yes.. that was a nice story -- heard it the first time about 10 years ago and it's heartwarming.
