footprints<br/>One night I had a dream...<br/>I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and<br/>Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.<br/>For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;<br/>One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.<br/>When the last scene of my life flashed before us,<br/>I looked back at the footprints in the sand.<br/>I noticed that many times along the path of my life,<br/>There was only one set of footprints.<br/>I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life<br/>This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.<br/>"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,<br/>You would walk with me all the way;<br/>But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,<br/>There is only one set of footprints.<br/>I don't understand why in times when I<br/>needed you the most, you should leave me.<br/>The Lord replied, "My precious, precious<br/>child. I love you, and I would never,<br/>never leave you during your times of<br/>trial and suffering.<br/>When you saw only one set of footprints,<br/>It was then that I carried you." |
