God saw Junewas getting tired

When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped His arms around her

And whispered “Come to Me”

In tears we saw June sinking,

We watched her fade away.

Our hearts were truly broken,

She fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw her sleeping,

Peacefully and free from pain,

We could not wish her back,

To suffer that again.

So keep Your arms around June, Lord,

And give her special care,

Make up for all she suffered,

That seemed to us unfair.

So many times we’ve needed her.

So many times we’ve cried.

If love could have saved her,

June never would have died.

FOOTPRINTS

One night a woman had a dream. In it she was

walking along a beach with the Lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from her life.

For each scene she noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,

one belonging to her, and the other to the Lord.

When the final scene of her life flashed before her,

she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She

noticed many times along the path of her life there

was only one set of footprints, and realized that they came at

the hardest and saddest times of her life.

Bothered about this, she questioned the Lord,

saying, "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 burdensome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why ,

when I needed you the most you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My dear child, I love you and

I would never leave you.

During the times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."
