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, & 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 of his life. This really
Bothered him & 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've noticed that
During the most troublesome times in
My life, there's only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you
Most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I
Love you & would never leave you.
During your times of trial & suffering
When you see only one set of Footprints
It was then that I carried you.
