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 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 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, youd 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 dont 
understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. 
The Lord replied, My precious, precious child, I love you and I 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. 
, ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
The family is sincerely grateful and appreciative for every act of kindness shown during

May God bless and keep each of you in His care.
