Dream
One night I had a dream....
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord,
and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
There was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life
This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You would 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 in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.
