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 offootprints in the sand; 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 in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path ofhis life there was only one set offootprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord. uLord 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 need you the most you would leave me.'' The Lord replied, uMy precious, precious child, I love you, and I will never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set offootprints, it was then that I carried you."
