Footprints

One night I dreamed I was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my
life flashed across the sky. In each, I
noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes,
there were two sets of footprints,
so I said, "Lord, you promised me,
that you would walk with me always.
Why, when I have
needed you most,
would you leave me?"
The Lord replied, "My precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
The times when you
have seen only one set
of footprints, it was
then that I
carried you."Author Unknown

Fill Not Your Hearts

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
But remember me in every tomorrow.
My going has eased my pain and given relief,
so dry your eyes and forget your grief.
Remember the joy, our laughter, my smile
and that our being apart is just for awhile.
Remember me also as I used to be.
Understand in your hearts, so precious to me,
that I’ve gone on ahead to dwell up above,
and ‘til we’re once more together…
You have all of my love.
