The Eastman crew’s bus adventure to Carthage did not end at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame! We also ventured around the block to visit the beautiful Footprints In The Sand Monument. This moving sculpture depicts Jesus walking alongside an elderly man until the man’s footprints disappear and Jesus carries him the rest of the way. It was such a touching and meaningful experience for our residents. ❤️
The monument was created by sculptor Bobby Leon Harness, who was born in 1933 in Shawnee, Oklahoma and served 4 years in the United States Marine Corps before becoming an award-winning commercial artist for more than 36 years. Inspired by the poem Footprints in the Sand, Bobby brought his vision to life in 2012 through this incredible 14-foot sculpture as a personal testimony of faith and gratitude.
The residents truly loved this trip, and with the beautiful weather and meaningful moments shared together, it was a day to remember! ☀️
