One night a mand had a dream of walking
along the beach, with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes of his life.
For each scene there were two sets
of footprints in the sand. One was his
and the other was the Lord's.
After the last scene, he looked back and
noteced many times in life there was,
only one set of footprints.
These during the most sad, hard times.
This really bothered him and so he questioned
the Lord, "Lord, you said once
I followed you, we would walk together.
I have noticed only one set of footprints during
the most troublesome times. Why weren't you
there when I needed you the most?"
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I loved you
and would never leave. During your trials
and tribulations, when you see only one set
of foot prints, it was then I carrried you."
