footprints
2:26AM on September 01, 2008
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 belonged 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 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 dont understand why when i need you most you would leave me.
the lord replied: "My precious, precious child, i love you and i would never leave you.
during your times of trial and suffering when you only see one set of footprints it was
then that i carried you.
