Footprints~
J 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 belonged to him, and the other 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 of his life there was only one set o f footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saadest time in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the S -- 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 was only one set o f footprints. I don't understand
why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious child, J love you and I would never leave you, During your times oftrial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
