~~~~~~~Footprints~~~~~~~

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 lord's.

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 notice 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 needed you most".

The lord replied, "my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, where you see only one set of footprints, I was carrying you."
