"F O O T P R I N T S"
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 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, Youd 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 dont 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 times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
