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.”
