Footprints in the Sand
|
|
|
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the
Lord.
|
Many scenes from my
life flashed across the sky.
|
In each scene I
noticed footprints in the sand.
|
Sometimes
there were two sets of footprints,
|
other
times there were one set of footprints.
|
|
This
bothered me because I noticed
|
that
during the low periods of my life,
|
when
I was suffering from
|
anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
|
I could see
only one set of footprints.
|
|
So I said to the
Lord,
|
"You promised me
Lord,
|
that if I followed
you,
|
you would walk with
me always.
|
But I have
noticed that during
|
the
most trying periods of my life
|
there
have only been one
|
set
of footprints in the sand.
|
Why,
when I needed you most,
|
you
have not been there for me?"
|
|
The
Lord replied,
|
"The
times when you have
|
seen only one
set of footprints,
|
is when I carried you."
