Footprints In The Sand
By Mary Stevenson
One night I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of
footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when
I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of
footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only
been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you
not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my
child, is when I carried you.”

Mary StevensonEDITORIAL NOTE: |
My Dear Readers, the inspirational poem,
“Footprints In The Sand” has been a
part of history for as long as I can remember.
Always the author was “Unknown.” Yet, in my research I discovered at least four
authors laying claim to this wondrous writing…even more when viewed as a song of
the same name.
However, the one included on this page is the original version of “Footprints In
The Sand” and
also the oldest.
* This version of “Footprints In The Sand” is attributed to Mary Stevenson and
is one of three versions.
I thank the estate of Mary Stevenson for giving
permission to reprint “Footsteps In The Sand.”
Blessings and enjoy,
Michelene
