Footsteps in the sand
One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my 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."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Yes, bus pass, quit driving in 2007, bought a new car in 2012 and was rear ended and car totaled 4 months later. Bought again in 2015 and had major fender benders twice, and gave up permanently then... I'd got married abroad in 2011 and both times was trying to make life easier for us. I'd promised God in 2007 i'd give up driving and didn't keep my promise. God did not punish me, but was definitely an I told you so.
My wife has a job which provides her free bus ID, and I have a discount bus pass at 33 A month. Where we live now has a much better bus system than Orlando has.
