FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was only one.

This bothered me because
I noted 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.
"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 been only one set of footprints in the sand.
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."
