  Footprints

  
  

  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 there
  was two sets of 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 asked 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 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 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.”
