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. In each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging 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 that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the most difficult
and saddest times in his life. This really
bothered him and he asked 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 difficult times in my life, there is
only one set of footprints. I don't understand when I needed you most in my
life why you would leave me. " The
Lord replied, "my dear, dear friend 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." (Anon) |
