Footprints
One night a man had a dream. In it he was walking
along a 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 final scene of his
life flashed before him, he looked
back, at the footprints in the sand. He noticed many times along the
path of his life there was only one
set of footprints, and realized that
they came at the hardest and saddest times of his life. Bothered
about this, he questioned the Lord saying,
"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 burdensome times in my
life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I
needed you the most You would leave
me. "The Lord replied, "My dear child, 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."
