One night a man dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the
Lord. As scenes of his life flashed
before him, he noticed that there
were two sets of footprints in the
sand. He also noticed at his
saddest, lowest times thre was
one set of footprints. This bothered
the man and he asked the Lord,
"Did you not promise that if I gave
my heart to you that you'd be with
me all the way? Then why is there
only one set of footprints during
my most troublesome times?"
The Lord replied, "My precious
child, I love you and would
never forsake you. During
those times of trial and
suffering when you see only
one set of footprints, it was
then I carried you."
