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 of 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.
