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 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 really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it: "Lord,
you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd 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 don't understand why when I needed
you most you would leave me.
