FOOTPRINTS



Last night I had a dream. I dreamed
I was walking along the beach with
the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes
from my life. For each scene,
I noticed two sets of footprints in the
sand: one belonged to me, the other to
the Lord.

  After the last scene of my
life flashed before me, I looked back
at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along
the path of my life, especially
at the very lowest and saddest
times, there was only one set
of footprints.

This really troubled me,
so I asked the Lord about it.
  "Lord, you said once I decided to
follow you, You'd walk with me
all the way. But I noticed
that during the saddest and most
troublesome times of my life, there was
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I
needed You the 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 suffering, when you could see
only one set of footprints, it was
then that I carried you."
