FOOTPRINTS

One night a woman 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 she 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."
