In Loving Memory

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed 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
belonged to him, and the other 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 walk with me all the way. But I
don't understand why when I needed you most, you
would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you
and I would never leave you. During your times of
trial and suffering, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you."
