One Night I had a dream....
I dreamed that I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes of my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand. One belonged to me, the other to the Lord. When the last scene flashed before us, I looked back at the foot prints in the sand; I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of prints; I also noticed it happened at the saddest and lowest times of my life. This worried me that I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but now I find that during the most troubled part of my life there is only one set of footprints. I can understand why in times I needed you most you would leave me alone."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you and would never, never leave you alone during the darkest hour of need. When you see only one set of foot prints, it was then that I carried you in my arms."
