One night a man had a dream, he walked along a beach, the Lord at his side. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life… He saw two sets of footprints in the sand, his own and those of the Lord. But looking back he noticed at times along the path, there was only one set of footprints. This was often at difficult times of his life… He asked, “My Lord, you said that if I follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But in times of trouble there is only one set of footprints. Why have you left me when I needed you the most?” … The Lord answered, “My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you, During your times of trial, when you see only one set of footprints, that’s when I was carrying you.”
