I love the poem “Footprints in the Sand” and I get tearful every time I read it.(As I’m writing this “You’ll never walk alone ” has played on the TV).
My husband and I have just had a couple of days holiday in Bury St Edmunds and I had a lovely time wandering around the Abbey Gardens and in the shops. When I was doing this, I thought about people who had walked the same paths. The minister of a previous church in N.I. left to become a Chaplain in the RAF. He was stationed near Bury St Edmunds and he told me that it was one of his favourite places. He was very much in my mind and I could visualise him running around with his daughter in the lovely green spaces or having a coffee with his wife.
Over the years many hundreds of thousands of people travel on the same paths but no one can take the place of our Lord as he walks the path to the cross. Perhaps we can, in prayer, walk alongside him.
Thank You Lord for always being beside us on our journey of life. Even though we can’t see You we know that You are there
