Footsteps

   

One night a man had a dream.

He Dreamed he was walking along the

beach with the Lord

Scenes from his life flashed across the

sky and 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 had

flashed before him, he recalled that at

the lowest and saddest times of his life

there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that

once I decided to follow you, You'd

walk with me all the way.

Why, at the troublesome times of my life

the times I needed you most would you leave me?"

The Lord replied," My precious

precious child, I love you and I would

never , never leave you. During your times

of trail and suffering when you saw

only one set of footprints-----

It was then that I carried you."
