I was searching the web for an angel to use for my post and this one came out and spoke to me.
With his blond hair, muscular body and reverent position he seems to be praying with me. He has the strength I need now to keep praying.
It is never easy to keep prayers and optimism going over time but we need to. Miracles don't happen over night.
My little trick is to light a candle for people I keep in my prayers. Everyday when I light my candles I say their names. It bring them into memory and lets their name vibrate out into the cosmos, sending out positive vibes like the wings of a butterflies.
Whatever your little trick is, it would be great if you shared it with us. There is ages of wisdom and knowledge out there that we could all tap into if we share.
P.s. I found no name associated with this image, hence no credit but lot's of positive vibes to his creator.
Very creative Suzanne. I love to take pictures of the family, and look at them over and over again to remind me of them. When I pray for someone I think of the person I'm praying for mostly from my memory from the pictures. Is this the kind of comment you are looking for?

ReplyDeleteFootprints
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."
