Footprints


One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the Lord
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he saw two sets of footprints
in the sand, one belonged to him the other the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints, and saw only one set.
He noticed that it happened at the very lowest,
and saddest times of his life.

This bothered him so he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord you said that once Idecided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way. But I have noticed
that during the most troublesome times in my life, there
were 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 would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you
saw only one set of footprints, that was when
I was carring you."
