FOOTPRINTS
Footprints
Author - Unknown
One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the
Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my
life. For each scene I noticed two sets of
footprints, one belonged to me and the other to
the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I
looked back at the footprints in the sand. I
noticed that many times along the path of my
life, there was only one set of footprints. I also
noticed that it happened at the very lowest and
saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord
about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you
would 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 in times when I needed you
most, you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love
you and I would never, never leave you during
your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."
