~ Footprints In The Sand ~
One night I had a dream.
I was walking along the beach with the Lord,
and across the skies flashed scenes from my life.
In each scene I noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand.
One was mine, and one was the Lord's.
When the last scene of my life appeared before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and to my surprise,
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.
And I noticed that it was the lowest and saddest times in my life.
I asked the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why you left me when I needed you most."
The Lord said: "My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial.
Where you see only one set of footprints, I was carrying you."
