Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream, I dreamed that I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes of my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints and that it happened at the lowest and saddest moments of my life. This really bothered me and I asked the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that when I decide to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the worst times of my life, there is only one set of footprints."
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most, you should leave me."

The Lord replied, " My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, ever leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

(I read this on a paper tablemat at Shogun Restaurant and thought it good to share it on my blog.)
