One night I had a dream─
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with Lord and across the sky flashed scenes form 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 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 footprints, I also noticed that it happened at the very 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 have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints."
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you 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."
