Margaret Powers --- the real person who wrote "Footprints"

You most likely have read "Footprints in the Sand."  That inspiring poem was written by Margaret Powers.  In it, she describes the plight of a person who felt abandoned by GOD in  his or her darkest hour only to discover that he or she wasn't abandoned at all. 

The single set of footprints didn't  belong to the person in pain walking the beach alone.  They were the LORD'S.  The reason there was only on set of footprints was because the person in crisis was being carried.

Shortly after writing, "Footprints." Margaret's  poem was stolen and distributed throughout the world.  For over two decades, the poet received neither recognition  nor royalties.  At long last,  her ownership of the poem was proven.  Looking back on this grave injustice, Margaret attests to the "arms of love" that held her.  Although some days she didn't  feel the LORD close.  HE never let her down.  Perhaps you can relate.

⁴ And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
