FOOTPRINTS

One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God 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, The other to God.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

I noticed that many times along the path of 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 God about it.

"God, You said that, once I decided to follow You, You would walk with me all the way,

But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life There is only one set of footprints?

I don't understand why, In the times when I needed You most, You would leave me?"

God replied, "My precious, precious child! I love you and would never leave you during your times of trials and suffering!

When you see only one set of footprints It was then that I carried you."
