Butt Prints in the Sand
Posted by tom cottar under fun, stupid christian stuff, theology
Ever think God gets tired of our whining? Maybe even exasperated?
I found this today while cleaning out some old files on my home PC. May it inspire you to get up and do something. Anything.
One night, I had a wondrous dream; 
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
"Those prints are large and round and neat,
But, Lord, they are too big for feet."
"My child," He said in somber tones.
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of-faith you would not know.
So I got tired and fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt,
Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
