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 belonging to him, and
another belonging 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 son, my
precious child, I love you and would
never leave you. During your time of
trial and suffering, when you see
.
only one set of footprints it was
then that I carried you.
