One night a man had a dream
He dreamed he was walking along the beech with the Lord
As they walked, he saw scenes from his life
Each time he saw two sets of foorprints in the sand
One belonging to him and the other to the Lord
When the last scene had faded he look behind at the foorprints in the sand
He saw that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of Footprints
He also saw that it happened at the very hardest and saddest times in his life
This confused him and he spoke to the Lord
"Lord you promised me that if I followed you you would be with me werever I went
But look!
At times in my life there were only one set of footprints in the sand
Why did you leave me alone when I most needed you?""
And the Lord replied.
"My precious precious child I love you and would never leave you
During those thimes when there was only one se of foorprints in the sand,
It was then when I carried you."
