Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the
flashed scenes from his life. For each
scene he noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand;one belonged 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 at the
worst times in my life, there is only one
set of footprints.
How could you leave me when I needed you
the most?" The Lord replied " My precious,
precious child, I love you and would never
leave you. During your times of suffering
and when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
