Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream`````````
I dreamed I was walking along the Beach with the Lord and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belong to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I 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 would 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 in times when i needed you most you should leave me,"
The Lord replied," My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never never leave you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of foot prints,
It was then I  carried you".
