One night I dreamed I was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my
life flashed across the sky. In each, I
noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes,
there were two sets of footprints,
so I said, "Lord, you promised me,
that you would walk with me always.
Why, when I have
needed you most,
would you leave me?"
The Lord replied, "My precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
The times when you
have seen only one set
of footprints, it was
then that I
carried you."
