Mouse House 

Another Poem.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along a 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 Load.

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 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."
