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 two sets of footprints in the sand:
                        one belonging to him, and The other 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
                           pair of footprints.  I don't understand why when
                                            I needed You most You
                                                would leave me."
                                                
                                                
                                    The Lord replied, "My son,
                            My precious child, I love you and 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."
