Footprints
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 precious, 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~"
~
I saw this in Peggy's new house on Friday night and somehow it kinda struck me rather deeply
The ending especially touched me quite abit.. the words reaching into the depths of the heart.
I guess part of the reason was coz I was feeling abit down then.. had nothing to do for that period.. and my mind just kept thinking of you.
Whenever I have nothing to do or am left alone, my mind immediately races towards you and you're all that I think about~
