I served on EOEE Walk #82 this last weekend, and what a wonderful experience that was. As a part of the weekend my friend and brother in Christ, Pastor Josh, shared with me this poem. It's too good not to share with you. I hope you enjoy it. It is a light hearted take on the famous Footprints poem, but also conveys a message. We are called to grow in our Faith. 1 Peter 2 says that we should crave spiritual milk; 1 Cor 13:11 says that we are supposed to put away childish things and behave like men; Phil 2:12 says we are to work out our faith. On and on there are verses showing that we are to grow in our faith walk, and not stagnate. Lest we run the risk of being dropped on our butt! Enjoy...
Butt Prints In The Sand
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord they are too big for feet."
"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait."
"You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know.
So I got tired, I got fed up,
and there I dropped you on your butt."
"Because in life, there comes a time,
when one must fight, and one must climb.
When one must rise and take a stand,
or leave their butt prints in the sand."
