Footprints In The Sand One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along 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 had flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints and

noticed that many times along the path there was only one set of footprints in the sand. He also noticed that this happened

during the lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord, “Lord, you said that once I

decided to follow You, You would walk with me all the way,

but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life there was only one set of footprints. I don’t under-

stand why, when I needed you most, You deserted me.”

The Lord replied, “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.”
