Footprints in the Sand

"Optional Message Here"

One night a man had a dream that 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, the other belonging 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, and 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 during the most troublesome times in 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 see only one set of

footprints, it was then that I carried you.
