One was mine, and one was the Lord’s.
When the last scene of my life appeared 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. And I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked the Lord about it:
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why you left my side when I needed you the most.
The Lord said: “My precious child, I never left you during your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you”.
