I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
One belonging to me, and the other to God.
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 foot prints.
I also noticed that it happened at very lowest and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me so I questioned God about it.
"God, you said that once I decided to follow you. You'd walk with me all the way."
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprint.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
God replied, "My precious, 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.
