Buttprints 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."

You heathen. ;)
I really do hope that God has a sense of humour, or else I'm in biiiig trouble! :-D
"When one must fight and one must climb"- so true. And a humorous way of getting that message across!!
Hi Robert. This was a great poem. Funny, yet it absolutely made me think. I showed you a little "link love" in my most recent post. Thanks again.
God has a sense of humor: Jesus ate with sinners and was criticized for drinking with them. My guess is that he shared a lot of laughter with them.
Thanks for coming by my blog. You touched me with that comment.
This one makes me giggle. Thanks
LOL...that's great! hee hee --made me smile for today.
Hmm... that could just be my butt print sometimes! ;)
You'd think that God *would be* exasperated with this naughty bunch of children He has sometimes, eh?
So much less comforting than the other one, but no less true. So true! LOL
=)
He will never leave us nor forsake us. Covenant is powerful!

LOL!!! you've definitely come across some funny stuff lately! i've only been stopping by for a few weeks, and started reading with the thought you were more "serious." haha!
either way, i'll still be a regular visitor :D you know me, im a total goofball with my head in the clouds so both ways suit me fine. :D
oh and btw, i second what mike said! hehe :)
I usually revert to being silly when I don't have anything deep and meaningful to say. Unfortunately there's been a lot of that lately. ;-)
I agree with Sicarii and Mike
funny though.
Godbless
loved this :)
Nice blog. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. I became a follower and look forward to reading more. Have a great day!
This is a very good way to get the message across. You can only totally rely on someone for a season before you start doing something yourself. Even babies get up and walk within months. ha ha ha
That is probably the best adaptation of that poem ever. People need to stop blaming their god for everything, and take responsibility for their own lives!
