Each of us need support as we go through life's journey. For a Christian this support comes through faith in the Lord Jesus.

This is a story which will resonate with some. Others will be able to

relate to it in one way or another because of a friend or a neighbour or a mother and father...

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 belonged to him and the other to the Lord.

Looking 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, I thought you promised to 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, precious child,

I love you and would never leave you.

During your times of trial & suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
