FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along a 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 belonging to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life
flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me so I questioned the Lord about it,
"There is something I don't understand.
Why is it that down the hills and over the smooth and easy places
You have walked by my side. But over the tough and difficult
places I have walked alone, for I see in those areas
there is just one set of footprints?"
The Lord turned to the me and
said, "My precious child.
I love you and I never left you.
It is that while your life was easy I walked along your side.
But here, where the walking was hard and the paths were difficult,
it was then that I carried you."
