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 in his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. %u201cLord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you%u2019d 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%u2019t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me%u201d.The Lord replied, %u201cMy precious, precious child, I love you and I 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%u201d.E734-155734-155FootprintsDon%u2019t QuitWhen things go wrong as they sometimes will,When the road you%u2019re trudging seems all up hill,When the funds are low and the debts are highAnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit,Rest, if you must, but don%u2019t you quitLife is queer with its twists and turns,As everyone of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns aboutWhen he might have won had he stuck it out;Don%u2019t give up though the pace seems slow -You may succeed with another blow.Success is failure turned inside out -The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,And you never can tell how close you are,It may be near when it seems so far;So stick to the fight when you%u2019re hardest hit -It%u2019s when things seem worst that you must not quit.E734-325734-325Don%u2019t QuitThe Cross in My PocketI carry a cross in my pocketA simple reminder to meof the fact that I am a ChristianNo matter where I may be.This little cross is not magicnor is it a good luck charmIt isn%u2019t meant to protect meFrom every physical harm.It%u2019s not for identificationFor all the world to seeIt%u2019s simply an understandingBetween my Savior and me.When I put my hand in my pocketTo bring out a coin or keyThe cross is there to remind meOf the price He paid for me.It reminds me, too, to be thankfulFor my blessings day by dayAnd to strive to serve Him betterIn all that I do and say.It%u2019s also a daily reminderOf the peace and comfort I shareWith all who know my MasterAnd give themselves to His care.So, I carry a cross in my pocketReminding no one but meThat Jesus Christ is Lord of my lifeIf only I%u2019ll let Him be.E734-195734-195The Cross In My PocketTake TimeTake Time to Think...It is the source of power.Take Time to Play...It is the secret of perpetual youth.Take Time to Read...It is the fountain of wisdom.Take Time to Pray...It is the greatest power on earth.Take Time to Love and Be Loved...It is a God-given privilege.Take Time to Be Friendly...It is the road to happiness.Take Time to Laugh...It is the music of the soul.Take Time to Give...It is too short a day to be selfish.Take Time to Work...It is the price of success.Take Time to Do Charity...It is the key to heaven.E734-717734-717Take Time I Said a PrayerFor You YodayI said a prayer for you todayand know God must have heardI felt the answer in my heartAlthough He spoke no word!I didn%u2019t ask for wealth or fame(I knew you wouldn%u2019t mind)I asked Him to send treasuresOf a far more lasting kind!I asked that He%u2019d be near youAt the start of each new dayTo grant you health and blessingsAnd friends to share your way!I asked for happiness for youIn all things great and smallBut it was for His loving careI prayed the most of all!E734-108734-108I Said a Prayer for You Today Family PrayerGod made us a familyWe need one anotherWe love one anotherWe forgive one anotherWe work togetherWe play togetherWe worship togetherTogether we use God%u2019s wordTogether we grow in ChristTogether we love all menTogether we serve our GodTogether we hope for HeavenThese are our hopes and idealsHelp us to attain them,O God, Through Jesus Christ our Lord.E734-749734-749Family Prayer Act of ContritionMy God,I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.I firmly intend, with your help,to do penance,to sin no more,and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.Our Savior Jesus Christsuffered and died for us.In his name, my God, have mercy.AmenE734-718734-718An Act of ContritionSafely HomeI am home in Heaven, dear ones;Oh, so happy and so bright!There is perfect joy and beautyIn this everlasting light.All the pain and grief is over,Every restless tossing passed;I am now at peace forever,Safely home in Heaven at last.Did you wonder why I so calmlywalk the valley of the shade?Oh!
