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 belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of foot prints. He also 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 foot prints. I don't understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me." The lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of~rial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I ,carried you."
IN APPRECIATION

having Richmond in our lives. Never shall we forget our beloved one.
