One night a man had a dream
He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the skies flashed scenes of 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 wast only one set of footprints.
He also notice that this 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 the 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 dont understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you saw only one set of footprints it was then,
that I carried you.
