FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND One night a man had a dream. While dreaming, 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 belonging to him, and the other to 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 bothered him so he questioned the Lord about it: Lord, you said that once i decided to follow you, youd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me. The Lord replied: My son, 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, i was carrying you. Moral of the story: When we face difficulties, we may begin to think that we are alone but in fact God does not leave us alone. Let us learn to pray for strength from him in order to withstand any challenge that comes by. Type AMEN if you believe God cannot leave you alone both in goodness and bad times.
