Footprints inthe 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 was one only.  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 has only been one set of footprints in the

sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not

been there for me?"  The Lord replied, "The years

when you have seen only one set of footprints,

my child, is when I carried you."
