Footprints in the Sand Sizes: 18x27 (Examination Proof, Framed) Publish Date: December 2007 "When you see only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you..." The parable about footprints in the sand, which reminds us that in times of personal pain God is there to carry us through, resonates for me with profound truth. My Footprints in the Sand takes us to a charming coastal town to explore the interweaving of the human and spiritual elements of our lives. The scene bustles with human activity - families strolling the pier, fishermen, even my first-ever portrayal of a surfer. The busy people are bathed in the heavenly light of sunset, and flocks of gulls, like messengers from Heaven, descend from the glorious sky. Two pairs of footprints in the sand narrow to one, reminding us that, when our human lives are troubled, God will always be a constant guide and steady support. -Thomas Kinkade
