FOOTPRINTS

One night Andrea Lee had a dream. In it she was

walking along a beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from her life. For each scene Andrea Lee noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one

belonging to her, and the other to the Lord.

When the final scene of her life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand.

She noticed many times along the path of her life there was only one set of footprints, and realized that they came at the hardest and saddest times of her life. Bothered about this, she 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 the times of trial and suffering, when you see only

one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
