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 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 very lowest and saddest time
of his life. That really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, youd 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 dont understand why when I needed you most you would leave me
The Lord replied, My son, My precious child, I love you and 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.
