Footprints

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 son, 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."

During any sad time, it is easy to turn away from God and rebel. But those are the times when He is the closest. If you listen closely, you can even hear His heartbeat. I thank God for this comfort.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful Sunday! Pray for safety as I fly back to Little Rock from San Antonio. Pictures are coming soon!! This upcoming post might just be my favorite, ever.
