What Would Jesus Do?

Some people have a talent for putting their thoughts into words so eloquent and descriptive they paint pictures in your mind. Not me. I just stumble along, my brain going from one disjointed thought to another. But give me paint and a brush, or a graphics program and I can create beauty.

The last 5 months, for a lot of us, have been a nightmare. I got to thinking about Clay's WWJD bracelet this morning. What would Jesus do? How has Clay managed to rise above the vile and vicious attacks made upon him? How have we, the fans who love him, managed to stay strong against the vicious attacks made upon us. Those two questions led me to look for answers in Bible quotes and got me to thinking how could I avoid turning this blog into a sermon and still convey my feelings. Somewhere from deep in the back of my mind my favorite poem pushed it's way into my consciousness and I found my answers.

Footprints in the Sand

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 Stevenson, 1936
