One set of footprints

One night a man had a dream
He dreamt 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; the other to the Lord.
With 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 walked with me all the way.
But i have noticed that during the most troublesome times in mylife, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times i needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and sufferings. When you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.."
