 footprints 
One night I dream edI was waCking aCong the heach w ith the L o rd M any scenes fro m my CifefCashedacross the shy. 
In each scene I n oticed footp rin ts in the sa n d Sometimes there were two sets o ffootprints, other times there were one set o ffootprints. 
This bothered me because I n o ticed that during the Cow periods o f my Cife, when I was 
suffering fro m anguish, sorrow or defeat, I couCdsee 
onCy one set o ffootprints. 
So I sa id to the Lord, "you prom isedm e Lord, that i f I foCCowedyou, you wouCdwaCk w ith me always. 'But I have n oticed that during the most trying periods o f my Cife there 
have onCy been one set o f footprints in the sa n d lYhy, when I needed you most, you have not been th erefo r me?" 
The LordrepCied, "The times when you have seen onCy one set o ffootp rin ts in the sa n d is 
when I carried you. "
