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 belonged 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 the most you would leave me.
The LORD
replied, "My precious, 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."
I would like to thank Danny for allowing me to use his artwork on
