Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Foot prints in the sand One night a man had a dream. He dreamed 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 belonging 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 have 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 son, 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.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Jai Sai Ram This was way back in 1997 ~ 1999 before I got married in 2000 and my life changed since then I used to stay with my uncle and family and my grandparents together.I used to sit and cry all the while at the altar and then look the words on the greeting card on the left hand side of Baba's photo that had the sayings about the 'Footprints on the sand and gods love for his child..... Those were tough days financially and emotionally and only god knows what i was going through and he only helped me give the courage and strength to overcome tough times.Recently in my heart a few days back I was recollecting the same old days and wanted to strongly remember the words for the footprints on sand but I just couldnt . I knew the story but i didnt know the exact words/phrases.But i just thanked the Lord silently that day for all that he has given me in return for the sad days in my life and smiled and continued what i was doing.And to my surprise someone sent this mail below which I read through today .Gods love is indeed not measurable by mankind.God is great ,Thank you ankita ji for kindly reminding me the beautiful words ,,there is a deep meaning to this story and forms a very important episode in my life and very close to my heart.Aum Sri Sai Ram --- On Fri, 6/2/09, sai ankita <sri.ankita.a wrote:sai ankita <sri.ankita.a GODS LOVE"sai ankita" <sri.ankita.aFriday, 6 February, 2009, 1:25 PM Foot prints in the sand One night a man had a dream.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Its just the Sai's way of reminding all of us that He always resides within us. He knows what we do, what we think and what we feel. The result was the mail sent by Ankita. Want Sai, Chant Sai and Think Sai. Sairam.
