Footprint
in the sand
One night I had a dream.
I was walking along a beach
with the Lord, and across the skies
flashed scenes from my life In each
scene I noticed two sets of footprints in
the sand. One was mine, and one was the
Lord' the last scene of my life appeared
before me, I looked back at the footprints in the
sand, and, to my surprise I noticed that many times
along the path of my life there were only one set of
footprints. And I noticed that it was only at the lowest
and sadest times in my life. I asked the Lord about
it: "Lord you said once I decided tofollow you,
you would walk with me forever. But I notice that
only during the most tring times in my life there are
one sets of footprints. I don't understand you
left my side when I needed you the most."
The Lord said: "My precious child,I
never left you during those times
of trial and pain. Where you see
one set of footprints, is where
I was helping you when you
so that you could continue."
"How?" I asked, He then
said in the kindest voice:
"I simply carried you."
