Footprints
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 belonged to him, and 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 in his life.
This
really bothered him and 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 have noticed that at the worst times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. How could you
leave me when I needed you the most?"
The Lord replied " My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave
you. During your times of suffering and when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried
you."
