FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND POEM
and Sterling Silver Footprints Cross Necklaces

Celebrate the Footprints In The Sand Poem with a sterling silver Footprints Cross Necklace.

Footprints In The Sand

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 belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

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 footprints.

I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”

The LORD replied: “My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you

This Footprints In The Sand Poem has been around for decades. It’s odd that only now are there footprints in the sand cross pendant necklaces to wear and serve as a constant visual reminder of this inspiried poem..

We have not one Footprints cross necklaces but two Fottprints in the Sand Cross necklaces. Check out the pictures.

Celtic Cross Jewelry Symbolism

SYMBOLISM OF STERLING SILVER CELTIC CROSS NECKLACES

The silver Celtic cross necklace genre is full of symbolism and ornate decorative stlying making the silver Celtic cross necklace wildly popular in Christian fashion jewelry.

As we examine the world of Celtic cross necklaces it is worth noting that their are Celtic Cross Necklaces For Men and Celtic cross necklaces for women. 

Our emphasis in this post is the vast selection of Celtic cross necklaces for men.

Here is a list of some of the various types and sub genres of Celtic cross necklaces:

• Trinity Cross Necklace
• Mens Irish Claddagh Pendant Cross Necklace
• Irish High Cross Necklace for men
• Mens Irish Shamrock Necklace

The irish or Celtic Cross are said to be a combination of Celtic traditional artistry and the Christian cross. This may be true but it is also said that a similars tyle of the traditional Celtic cross was in use with the pagan Celts before Christianity was introduced to them.

In basic form, Celtic crosses are a christian cross with a circle around the center of the cross. Everything else adds additional symbolism.

Mens Celtic Trinity Cross Necklace

Why it is called the Mens Trinity cross necklace is becasue artisans have added a trinity symbol to the cross. The trinity symbol is Celtic in origin and when it was adopted by the Christians it was given the symbolism of the Trinity or Christian Godhead. The Trinity knot is in the general shape of the triangle. Each point in the triangle represents a member of the Godhead.

Mens Irish Claddagh Pendant Cross Necklace

The symbolism of the Irish Claddagh is made up of a crown, hands and a heart. The crown means loyality, the hands mean friendship and the heart means love. There's saying that goes with the Claddagh "In my hands I hold your heart crowning it with all my love".

Irish High Cross Necklaces For Men

Irish high cross necklaces for men are essentially another name given to the Celtic cross necklace. The Celts preceded the Irish, English and Scottish peoples and they all adopted to a greater or lesser extent Celtic symbols. The Irish High Cross is a cross with a circle around the center. it can be as simple or decorative as your tastes desires. The Irish high cross necklace or Celtic cross necklace is non denominational as it's popularity shows.

SILVER CROSS NECKLACES FOR MEN

Silver Cross Necklaces For Men

Back before Christian men were wearing cross necklaces on a regular basis gender wasn't and issue. All you really needed to worry about was which genre of cross necklace to buy. For instance, before mens cross necklaces were around you would look at a common bunch of crosses or some specialty designs like Celtic cross necklaces, Fleur de Lis Cross Necklaces etc.

(This mens cross necklace shown in the photo above is a mens filigree style cross necklace)

But now that Christian men are actively wearing silver cross necklaces for men you have to first determine what type of gender cross your buying then move on to the genre.

But at HandCraftedCollectibles.com, the world wide leader of sterling silver cross necklaces, you have access to a huge collection of the mens cross necklace.

In this post about the

Why Spend Your Money On Sterling Silver Jewelry?

During these tough economic times we all have less income to spend on clothes, accessories and jewelry. So why spend your money on sterling silver jewelry that has no meaning when you can spend your money on jewelry with a theme. Jewelry that has meaning. Jewelry that speaks to you.

What I mean by this is that there are essentially three general types of sterling silver jewelry. 1. precious or semi precious stones set in sterling silver. 2. Sterling silver jewelry in abstract shapes. Granted they are nice to look at but lacking meaning. 3. Sterling silver jewelry that has meaning like a cross necklace or a ASL "I Love You" pendant necklace, etc.

When you have sterling silver jewelry with a theme or meaning you have something special that can be a keepsake for a lifetime and a keepsake for generations to come.

More specifically...Jewelry with meaning could be a sterling silver cross necklace or a Inspirational Christian Necklace. I could be a a nice piece of Celtic Jewelry like a Celtic trinity knot necklace or a Celtic eternity knot piece.

Then there is sterling silver Animal Jewelry. With Animal jewelry you can find any one of many different kinds of animals that you like or that have meaning for you. click here to see all the possiblities: Silver Animal Jewelry.

Sterling Silver Sports Jewelry

All sports competition seems now days seems to wrapped around the "do or die" for the win mentality. The parents, the athletes and Coaches, all seem to be willing do whatever it takes to win. Winning is the only thing that matters. There attitude is often "anything less than a win is a sign of weakness and for loosers".

What happened to good sportsmanship? Whatever happened to character building? What happened to team loyalty? Now days it seems that all that is recognized is the most valuable player, the Coach who wins the most, the player with the best stats. Now days the attitude is "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing".

This blog will provide links to sterling silver sports pendants, necklaces and jewelry to help promote the great and worth while attributes of sports.

With all the street gangs and violence out there due to lack of a family experience, sometimes these kids only have a sports team experience outside their life of crime.

There is only one MVP per team. There is only one champion team or champion athlete in singles competition.

What happened to recognizing those who never miss a practice or a game? What happened to recognizing team spirit? What happened to character building? What happened to coaches taking an active role in the lives of their athletes?

Sports and competition is a great opportunity to teach athletic minded kids great life lessons.

There is less than 1% chance that any young athlete will become profesional or World class athletes. So why place so much emphasis on pipe dreams when the opportunity to teach and coach these young athletes is likely to produce far greater results than trying to develope one or two athletes to get ahead only to stop short of their professional aspirations.

Cross Necklace

SILVER CROSS NECKLACES

There are many tpypes of cross necklaces and many types of names to assoicate with them. The one consistant thing about naming a cross is "a cross necklace by any other name is still a cross necklace".

Like we say "A cross necklace by any other name is still a silver cross necklace."

Sterling silver cross necklaces are so widely popular today because sterling silver is less expensive to work with for jewelry artisans and they can afford to invest more time and money into developing more types of sterling silver cross necklaces. They take traditional designs of crosses and add something to it, they create cross necklaces where the design is so new that a name hasn't yet been given to it. This all contributes to the decline of looking for cross necklaces by a certain name but gives more cross necklaces to select from!

 Most people just type in cross necklaces when looking for a cross necklace, or maybe somthing like cross necklaces for men or women's cross necklaces etc.

As an example of what they are doing with silver crosses: Rember that awesome Footprints In The Sand Poem? Now skilled sterling silver jewelry artisans have made Footprints in the Sand Cross Necklaces.

Another new silver cross necklace is the Timber Rope Cross Necklaces as shown below:

Various Christian Churches have laid claim to certain styles of sterling silver cross pendant.
