Footprints in the Sand

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
WRITTEN BY ANNONYMOUS


One night I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord

Many scenes from life flashed across the sky.
In each scene i noticed footprint in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Sometimes only one.

This bothered me because, during the low points of life, when i was
suffering, from anguish, sorrow, 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 noticed that during the most
trying periods of my life there have only been one set of prints in
the sand. Why, when i have needed you the most, have you not been
there for me?"

The Lord replied, " My dear child, the times when you have seen
only one set of footprints, that, that is when I carried you."
