Footprints

Author Unknown

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
belonging 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, 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 needed you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied,
"My son, My 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."

May God bless your
reading of this poem,
