Footprints in the sand

One nite a man had a dream.

He dreaMt he was walking along the beach with the lord.

Across the skies flashed scenes of his life.

For each scene, henoticed two sets of footprintsin the sand, one belonging tohim, and the other to the LorD.

When the last scene of his lifeflashed before him, he lookedback at the footprints in thesand. He noticed that many times along the path of his lifethere was only one set offootprints.

He also noticedthat his happened at thevery lowest and saddesttimes in his life.

This really bothered him andhe questiond the Lord aboutit. "Lord, you said that once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.

ButI have noticed that during the most roublesome times in mylife, there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "myprecious child.

I love you and I would never leave you.

Duringyour times of trial and suffereing, when you saw only one set of footprints it wasthen, that i carried you."
