One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking
along the beach with the Lord. Across the colorful sky
flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints; 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 and 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
believe in 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 abandon me."
The Lord said unto him,
"My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you. During your
times of trial and tribulation, when you see only one
set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
