(Your Own) Footprints In The Sand<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
One night I had a dream that I was walking along the beach with the Divine.<o:p></o:p>
As we walked together, many events from my life began to flash before my eyes across the clouded sky.
In each scene I noticed that there were two sets of footprints in the sand.<o:p></o:p>
When the last scene of my life was revealed to me I had noticed that there was only<o:p></o:p>
one set of footprints in the sand.<o:p></o:p>
This bothered me for I had realized that this was the lowest, saddest and most<o:p></o:p>
difficult time of my life. So I questioned the Gods and Goddesses.<o:p></o:p>
I said, “Ancestors, didn’t you promise me that if I held on to You<o:p></o:p>
that You would walk with me all the way?"<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>“Where were You when I needed You the most?”
And the Great Spirit replied, “My precious child, WE love you and promised you that<o:p></o:p>
WE would never ever leave you. But, Real Trust, True Integrity, and True Love<o:p></o:p>
must be tested in order for them to be realized.”<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>They said to me, “The road to Paradise is not an easy path to walk
and it is full of obstacles and trials. It is a mixture of both bitter and sweet experiences
and many sufferings and sacrifices must occur
before an Abundance of Karmic Inheritance can be reaped by
any of OUR Earthly Human Angels.”<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>“My Angel, it was "your own footprints in the sand"<o:p></o:p>
that marked your path right into OUR Hearts today.”<o:p></o:p>
"When you saw only one set of footprints in the sand, they were Yours.<o:p></o:p>
It was then, when We watched your Prodigal Soul choose this<o:p></o:p>
Great Ancestral Spiritual Reconciliation out of your own free will<o:p></o:p>
to carry US in YOUR Heart.”<o:p></o:p>
I had awakened that morning a brand new person.<o:p></o:p>
