Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
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 saw only one set of footprints...

That was when I carried you."

The Words of Beatific Anguish

Where does it all go? My words. I mean, everytime I speak it is as if they go through outer space. Into nothing. But there is something so special about it that I still can't grab. Something different than just telling someone about my struggle. It is as if everything is forgoten as I say it, in love, in peace, and in grace. No judge appears in the crime scene as it usually happens. Something about expressing my feelings in this way is so special. Something, unique. There is something so unusual of my words being said this way, but what is it? What could it be? My gentle words of joyful pain go into the heavens. They land in protective, noble hands. My desperate words of soothness go out into the perfect hands of a Daddy. One who is faultless. The words of beatific anguish have been welcomed by the perfectible Master, by The Father.
