Leaving Treadmarkz Across the Universe

by Treadmarkz

One night, a man who uses a wheelchair dreamed that he was watching himself push through the wilderness. As he rolled through the wilderness, many scenes from his life flashed in the sky. As each scene flashed, he noted that beside the wheel tracks in the mud, there was a  set of footprints. Further, he noticed that whenever scenes flashed showing the most troublesome, burdened times of his life – trying to fit in, trying to be independent, therapies and surgery -the footprints seemed to come in line with the wheel tracks.

“Thank you, Lord, for knowing when I could not do it myself, and for carrying me through my times of trouble!” he cried out.”Thank you for giving me the push I needed!”

But the Lord said: “My son, during the times when you see my footprints in line with your path, I was not pushing you. It was then that I went before you to clear your path, as I know your heart and I heard your voice crying out in the wilderness telling me there were some obstacles you needed removed. For instance, I removed a tree trunk from the path but you still went over the hill yourself.”
