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?”
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.”
Mary Stevenson, 1936
