Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach

with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed

across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in

the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of

footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the

low periods of my life, when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of

footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during the most trying

periods of my life there has only been one set of

footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most,

have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen

only one set of footprints, my child,

is when I carried you.” March 13, 1941 – September 1, 2017
