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 one 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
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
don’t understand 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 see only one set of footprints
it was then that I carried you”.
