walking along the beach with the Lord and across
the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene
I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one
belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When
the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked
back at the footprints in sand. I noticed that
many times along the path of my life, there was
only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it
happened at the very lowest and saddest times in
my life. This really bothered me and I questioned
the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I
decided to follow you, you would walk with me all
the way, but I have noticed during the most
troublesome times of my life there is only one set of
footprints. I don't understand why in times when
I needed you most, you should leave me." The Lord
replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you
and I would never, never leave you during your
times of trial and suffering. "When you saw only
one set of footprints, it was then that I carried
you."
