FRIENDSHIP

Friends Forever

We're joined in a friendship
That time cannot sever.
With bonds we have built
We'll remain friends forever.
We're welded in spirit,
Attached by our hearts.
We're fused by the feeling
That friendship imparts.
We're tied by emotions,
Connected by dreams,
Reinforced by our hopes,
Unified by extremes.
No longer a function
Of time or of space,
Our love is a substance
That life won't replace.
No matter how distant,
We'll always endeavor
To sense the full meaning
Of friendship forever.
-Bruce B. Wilmer

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

I said a preayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind).
I asked for priceless treasures rare
Of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings fair,
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But that you'd know his loving care
I prayed the most of all.

Footprints

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 of 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 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"
