One night a man had a dream. 

He dreamed he was walking across 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. he also 

noticed that it happened at the very lowest and 

saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. 

"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, 

You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed 

that during the most troublesome times in my life, 

there is only one set of footprints. 

I don't understand why, when I needed 

You the most You would leave me."

"My son, my precious child, I love you and 

would never leave you. During your times of 

trial and suffering, when you see only one 

set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
