Footprints
One night I had a dream---
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with
the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes
from my life. For each scene I noticed two
sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged
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 and I questioned the
Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided 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 is only one set of
footprints.
I don't understand why in times when I needed you
most, you should leave me."
The Lord replied,"My precious,precious child, I
love you and would never, never leave you during
your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints, it was
then that I carried you."
