story

One night a man had dream. He dreamt that 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 of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happens at the lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him so he asked the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once i decide to follow You, You would walk with me throughout the way. However, i have noticed that during the most troubled times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I do not understand why You would leave me all alone then. "

The Lord the replied, "My precious child, I love you and I 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. " =)
