Well, cold and snowy again. Supposed to be cold and snowy through Wednesday. What is this?

It was not too bad again when Chelsea and I went for our walk. So we are still managing to keep in shape.

Bible study was animated. The first reading, for a few weeks, is from Revelations. (Or Apocalypse as Ione found out in HER bible.) We had 9 of us there today. A nice number and a nice discussion. This was the day of a real revelation to me personally. As I was driving down there, I was thinking of my comment last night that I wished that I would see Two sets of prints in the sand. And suddenly it hit me. I HAD. Last Thursday when I called Dick and Brenda to ask them to walk me through reestablishing my printing abilities, they, instead, said they would come on Saturday. And they DID and they fixed all of our obvious problems on the computer. Now is that is not a second set of footprints. I don't know what is. In case, you don't know the story, I will put it at the end of the blot today.

This afternoon, Dick had an appointment with Dr. Sharon, his new primary physician, who took off the leg wraps. The swelling is really down a lot and we should be OK for another month now unless the legs start seeping again.

We got an offer on the house but is is a real low ball offer again. I can't understand why they are THAT low. Why are people looking at houses in our range and dropping their offers to an insulting price. We countered at $1000 less than our asking price. That should finish this one. She seems to think that WE should pay for any changes she wants to make.

One night a man had a dream. 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:

"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
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my 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."
