Footprints in the Sand
One night a man had a dream. He
dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.
Accross the sky flashed scenes
from his life. For each
scene, he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand;
one belonged to him, and the
other belonged 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 precious
child, I love you and would
never leave you. During your
times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of
footprints, it is then that
I carried you."
