FOOTPRINTS
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 MADE BY HIM, AND THE OTHER BY 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 IN THE SAND.HE ALSO NOTICED THAT IT HAPPENED. AT THE VERY LOWEST, AND SADIST TIMES IN HIS LIFE.

THIS BOTHERED HIM VERY MUCH, AND HE QUESTIONED THE LORD ABOUT IT? "LORD YOU SAID." "THAT ONCE I DECIDED TO FALLOW YOU." "YOU WOULD WALK WITH ME ALL THE WAY." "YET I'VE NOTICED." "THAT DURING MY MOST TROUBLED TIMES IN MY LIFE." "THERE ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND." "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY." " WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST." "YOU WOULD LEAVE ME."

THE LORD REPLIED TO HIM. "MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS CHILD." "I LOVE YOU, AND I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU." "DURING YOUR TIMES OF TRIAL, AND SUFFERING." "WHEN YOU SEE JUST ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND." IT WAS THEN." "THAT I CARRIED YOU."
