Butt prints in the Sand

A parody of Footprints in the Sand

One night, I had a wondrous dream;
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
"Those prints are large and round and neat,
But, Lord, they are too big for feet."
"My child," He said in sombre tones.
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of-faith you would not know.
So I got tired and fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt,
Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."

Happy Father's Day

DAD
Father's Day (secular)

(scene: three chairs side-by-side facing audience DC)
AMY -- (enters crying, blotting eyes with tissue, crossing to chairs) My face is weak from crying so much.
MOM -- (enters crying, blotting eyes with tissue, crossing to chairs) Me too.
LIZ -- (follows, holding back the tears) I'm not crying.
AMY -- (sitting) Why can't I stop crying?
MOM -- (sitting) Because you loved your Dad. We're all going to miss him terribly.
LIZ -- (sitting) Daddy wouldn't want us sitting around crying. He would want us to remember the good times we had with him.
AMY -- Maybe talking about the good times will help me stop crying.
LIZ -- I'll always remember Sunday breakfasts.
MOM -- Eggs Benedict.
AMY -- Bacon and sausage AND ham.
LIZ -- Waffles with too much syrup.
MOM -- He always called it the diet-buster.
LIZ -- Daddy's favourite three food groups: sugar, salt and fat.
AMY -- But he always said (imitating) "it doesn't hurt to splurge on breakfast once a week."
LIZ -- If he was here now, I'd make him breakfast with lots sugar, salt and fat.
MOM -- Me too.
AMY -- Daddy always had time to help me with my homework.
LIZ -- I don't care how busy he was, he'd push his own work aside as if his own work wasn't even important.
AMY -- But it was important. Did you see the numbers on those contracts he brought home?
LIZ -- $750,000.
AMY -- $1,200,000.
LIZ -- Even when Dad came home looking like he'd spent the day in a chain gang, when I asked him to shoot hoops with me, (chokes on her words) he always said YES.
MOM -- (hands Liz a tissue, tearful) He always said "YES, as soon as I get my hug and kiss from your mother."
AMY -- He always slobbered all over you.
LIZ -- It was embarrassing.
MOM -- He never slobbered.
LIZ -- I'm glad he never made out with you like that in public.
AMY -- I hope my husband always hugs and kisses me like that when he comes home from the office.
LIZ -- Me too.
AMY -- (blotting eyes) He was a good Dad.
LIZ -- (blotting eyes) The best.
MOM -- (blotting eyes) He was a good husband too. He always took time out after you kids were in bed to just sit and talk with me. I'll miss that.
LIZ -- He always made me feel like I was a terrific athlete.
AMY -- And he always made me feel so pretty. Remember he used to come down to breakfast every morning and say, "Good morning my lovelies"? (all pocket their tissues when Dad appears)
DAD -- (enters in pajamas, bath robe and slippers, scratching self, crossing to C) Good morning, my lovelies. (all stand)
LIZ -- Good morning, Daddy.
AMY -- Good morning, Daddy.
MOM -- Good morning, Honey.
DAD -- I had the weirdest dream, last night. I dreamed I died and you were all talking about me. Speaking of dreaming, why did you let me sleep-in this morning?
ALL -- It's Father's day.
DAD -- Oh. That's right.
AMY -- We made you breakfast. (grabs his hand, pulls him to exit)
(all move to exit)
LIZ -- With your three favourite food groups, sugar, salt and fat.
MOM -- The diet-buster.
DAD -- We'll it doesn't hurt to splurge on breakfast once a week.

Victoria Day Long Weekend

We had an awesome time camping. We had booked Rockwood Conservation Area Park Camp Site months ago and had been praying lots that God would give us very good weather. Thank you God for answered prayer!!!

For the first night, Friday to Saturday, Ray and I had our honeymoon for this year. From the second night to the end we had the children join us. They had a great time too … other than that they had gotten a little bit sick around that time. But we decided to wing it anyways and the fresh air did them tremendous good!!! We live in a stuffy basement apartment with very few windows that are very small. And taking them out was a gamble but our older daughter got much better being out. The other daughter got a wee bit sicker but we pray she will be better soon.

Other than that everything went absolutely wonderful. Nice weather and all. It was such a relaxing time for all of us. I did not want to come back knowing the house was a disaster due to our move this coming weekend groan. But oh well all good things must come to an end lol.

I want to share these picture of our weekend …
