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."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave
you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set
of footprints, it was then that I carried you"
