Footprints in the Sand


One night a woman dreamed she was walking alone on the beach with the
Lord. Many scenes from her life flashed across the sky.

In each scene, she noticed foot prints in the sand. Sometimes there
were two sets of foot prints, other times there was only one set.

This bothered her because she noticed that during the low periods of
her life, when she was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, she
only saw one set of footprints, so she 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 foot prints 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 foot
prints, my child , is when I carried you.
