Footprints In The Sand
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 during the most troublesome
times in my life, There is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed You most, You
would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you
During your times of trial and suffering.
When you see only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
