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 of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints and that this happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
He said, ‘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, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you only see one set of footprints, it was then I carried you.’
