…………….One night I had a dream. I dreamt that, I was walking along the beach with God and across the sky flashed moments from my life. For each moment, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged to me, the other to God, when the last moment of my life flashed before, I looked back at the footprints in the sand……….
 

I noticed that many times along the path of life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me and I questioned Him about it.
 

God, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way but I noticed that during the most troublesome period in my life there is only one set of footprints………..
 

I do not understand why in times when I needed you most, you would leave me. God replied, my child, I love you and will never leave you during your times of trials and sufferings, when u see only one set of footprints, it was then that

 
 I carried you.
