Footprints 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 belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene had flashed before him, he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times in his life there was only one set of footprints in the sand.
Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints... that was when I carried you." -- Margaret Fishback Powers
