Footprints in the Sand – There are many versions of that allegory out there in Christendom as well as a number of artist renditions. But did you know that the poem is actually inspired  from scripture at Deuteronomy Chapter1 when Moses reminded the children of Israel just before they were about to go to possesses the promised land that it was God that carried them through the wilderness. At Deuteronomy 1:31, NRSV, - and in the wilderness, where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, just as one carries a child, all the way that you traveled until you reached this place. In other words you didn’t make it on your own God carried you.
