Footprints

One night a man had a dream
He dreamed that he was walking along the beach with the Lord,
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life
For each scene he noticed that there were 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 was at the very lowest
and saddest times of his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you
You would walk with me all the way
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times
Of 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 saw
only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
