F0otprints
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 foot - prints. 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 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."]
