Footprints
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,
one belonged to me and 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 me 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." Best
