FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
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."
