| FOOTPRINTS 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 belonging 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 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 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." Author unknown |
| Five Little Easter Eggs Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore; (hold up five fingers) Mother ate the blue one, then there were four. (bend down one finger) Four little Easter eggs, two and two, you see; Daddy ate the red one, then there were three. (bend down next finger) Three little Easter eggs, before I knew, Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two. (bend down next finger) Two little Easter eggs; oh, what fun, Brother ate the purple one, then there was one. (bend down next finger) One little Easter egg; see me run! I ate the very last one, and then there were none. (bend down last finger) |

The third little rabbit went thump, thump, thump. I said to the third rabbit, "Jump, jump, jump!" The fourth little rabbit went sniff, sniff, snuff. I said to the fourth rabbit, "That is enough!" The fifth little rabbit went creep, creep, creep. I said to the fifth rabbit, "It's time to sleep!" |
