One night I had a dream. I was walking along the 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 Lords.
When 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 was only one set of footprints. And, I noticed
that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked the Lord
about it: "Lord 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 you left my side when I need you the most." The Lord said "My
precious child, I never left you during your time of trail. When you see
only one set of footprints, I was carrying you."
