Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

And for each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.

One belonging to him, the other to Him.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints.

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.

He questioned the Lord,

"You said you'd walk with me all the way. But during the most troublesome times there was only ONE set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed You most you would leave me."

The Lord replied," I would never leave you, my dear child. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that i carried you."
