Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking

along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each, I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints; other times there was only one.

During the low periods of my life I could see only one set of footprints, so I said,

“You promised me, Lord, that you would walk with me always.

Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,

“The times when you have seen only one set of

footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
