Foot Prints
One night I had a dream -
I dreamed I was walking along the
beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each
scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me the
other to the Lord.
When the last scene of
my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I
noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of
footprints I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times
in my life.
This really bothered my
and I 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 in my life there is only
one set of footprints.
"I don't understand
why, in times when I needed you most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied,
"My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, 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."
