Story of the FootPrints
**************************************************************************************
One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
And noticed that many times along the path
of my life there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I 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 at the worst times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
How could you leave me when I needed you the most?
"The Lord replied " My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of suffering and when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

Hi all, even though this is a story that i came to know for years... But everytime i read it, i am always deeply touched by it... So touch by God and His promise, to carry us when we are at the very lowest point of our life... Times of discouragement, disappointment and sadness , He promise that He will always be there to carry us through...
Oh heavenly Father, I just want to thank You for this LOVE !
