Footprints

One night I dreamed I was walking along the
beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one set of footprints.
--------.:~:.--------
This bothered me because I noticed that during the
low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
--------.:~:.--------
so I said to the Lord,
“ You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying
periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the
sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been
there for me?”
--------.:~:.--------
The Lord replied, “ The years when you have seen only one
set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”
