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 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 times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned 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 troublesome times in my
life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed
you most you would leave me.'
The Lord replied, 'My son,
My precious 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.'
