Footprints in the Sand | | | One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. | Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. | In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. | Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, | other times there were one set of footprints. | | This bothered me because I noticed | that during the low periods of my life, | when I was suffering from | anguish,
Our testimonies, should be written in our hearts as we continued to faced challenges and difficulties. We should continue to work on our testimony and faith so they never die off. Without an understanding of Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness and the Savior’s Atonement as the main point of that plan, these challenges could seem unfair. We all share in the trials of life together. But in faithful hearts is written, “All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” No matter how hard or unbearable a trail might be Let us all remember that the Lord will not give us more than we could handle. He knows each of us individually. He knows our strengs,weaknesses and the secret desires in our hearts. So know that wha ever we each go through, our heavenly father and our saviours gives us those trail knowing that we could be strong enough to overcome
When class started, Brother Christianson pulled out a big box of donuts. Now these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra fancy BIG kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls. Everyone was pretty excited - it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an early start on the weekend. Brother Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, 'Cynthia, do you want a donut?' Cynthia said, 'Yes.' Brother Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, 'Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Cynthia can have a donut?' Steve said, 'Sure,' and jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve again sat in his desk. Brother Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk. Brother Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, 'Joe do you want a donut?' Joe said, 'Yes.' Brother Christianson asked, 'Steve would you do ten push-ups so Joe can have a donut?' Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut. And so it went, down the first aisle, Steve did ten pushups for every person before they got their donut. Brother Christianson proceeded down the second aisle until he came to Scott. Scott was captain of the football team and center of the basketball team. He was very popular and never lacking for female companionship. Brother Christianson asked, 'Scott, do you want a donut?' Scott's reply was, 'Yes, but I will do my own pushups!' Brother
