Footprints
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beech with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes of his life.
To 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 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 of
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, 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."
