One night I had a dream.
I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the skies
flashed scenes from my life.
In each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One was mine, and one was my Lords.
When the last scene of my life appeared before me.
I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and,
to my surprise, I noticed that many times along
the path of my life there was only one set of footprints.
And I noticed that it was at the lowest
saddest times in my life.
I asked my Lord about it:
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way.
But, I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why you left my side when I needed you the most.
" My Lord said:
"My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial.
Where you see only one set of footprints,
I was carrying you."
