                    STONE AND SAND
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME

                    Buttprints in the Sand
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,

                    SHIFTING SANDS
One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to just sit or stand on the beach right where the waves wash up under my feet.  The waves are refreshing, but I like most what happens as the waves retreat.  As the waves retreat, the water takes the sand around and under my feet away.

                    In the dark of night, a Bedouin in the sands of Arabia was eating dates as he lay in his tent.
As he took a date & bit into it – he found a worm inside.
He bit into another & discovered a worm in it, too.
He tried another…& saw a worm in the next one as well.

                    A small boy was in his sand box playing and digging in the sand.  He finally struck a rock as he dug in deeper.  He kept on digging and found it to be a huge rock that he could barely move.  He struggled and fought to get the rock out of the box.  With one final effort he used all his strength to

                    Columnist L. M. Boyd recently described the amazing good fortune of a man named Jack Wurm. In 1949, Mr. Wurm was broke and out of a job. No job and no money, just like some of us here.  One day he was walking along a San Francisco beach when he came across a bottle with a piece of paper in it. As

Do you face battles?  Do trials and opposition buffet you and make the way ahead very hard?  This poem partly addresses that.
Well there is good news for you.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  Your Saviour goes with you all

                    Small things add up. They fill spaces in our lives that tend to squeeze out the more important things. Sand can bury a car, a house, or a person. Grains of sand are very small but when they are combined with a large number of other grains of sand, it is a force to be reckoned with.
