Footprints

"); document.writeln(" "); document.writeln("

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

"); document.writeln(" "); document.writeln("

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

"); document.writeln(" "); document.writeln("

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,

"); document.writeln(" "); document.writeln("

\"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?\"

"); document.writeln(" "); document.writeln("

The Lord replied, \"The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.\"1
