Footprints

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 sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to 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 paths 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
follow 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
leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My son, my precious child, I love
you and I would never leave you. During your times
 of trials and suffering, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
