footprints

*Tracks made by feet, whether human or animal, often visually-evident on ground similar to snow or sand, even wet footprints on normal concrete. *A christian philosophy about a man who decided to follow the Lord. It goes like this (warning : it has been written in my own words, but it is totally derived off of the real thing): One night I had a dream...I dreamed that I was on a beach and I was walking with the Lord. In the dark sky there were flashes of my life. For every scene of my life, I looked back and saw two sets of footprints...one belonging to me, and one belonging to the Lord. When I saw the last scene of my life flash amidst the dark sky, I looked back at the footprints again...there was only one set of footprints. I realized that this single set of footprints was during the lowest and most difficult and troublesome time in my life. I was very bothered and I felt I had to ask the Lord about this dilemma... ...I said, "Lord, You told me that if I followed You, You would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that there is only one set of footprints. I also noticed that this single set of footprints was during my most troublesome moments. I just don't understand why, Oh Lord, when I needed You the most, You'd....leave me..." And then the Lord whispered, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I will never, ever leave you, even during your times of trial, testing, and suffering....when you look at that single set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
