Footprints

By Margaret Fishback Powers


One night a man
had a dream. He dreamt
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 happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his
life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it."Lord,
you said that once I decided to
follow you,you'd walked 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, when I
needed You most, You would leave me".

The Lord replied," My precious, precious
child,I love you and I would never leave
you.During your times of trial and suf-
fering,when you saw only one set of
footprints,it was then that I CARRIED YOU".
