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
set offootprints in the sand: one belongingto 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 ofhis 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 follow You,
You'd walk with me all the way.But I have noticed that during the
mosttroublesome times in my life,there is only one set of footprints.I don't
understand why whenI needed You most You would leave me."The Lord replied:"My
precious child,I love you and 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."
