One night I had a dream... I dreamed I was walking along…
“One night I had a dream... I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, 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 footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the lowest and saddest times in my life this really bothered me, and I questioned the 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 dont understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me. The Lord replied,My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.”
