Footprints on sand

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed : he was walking along the beach with God & across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed 2 sets of footprints in the sand, One belonged to him and the other to God.

When the last scene of his life flashed before them, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many a times along the path of life, there was only 1 set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned God about it.

He asked in a bit complaining voice:
"God,u said once, u would walk with me all the way, so I decided to follow you, but I noticed that during the most troublesome time in my life there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed u the most, u left me."

God smiled and replied :
"My precious child, I love u & I would never never leave u alone.
During your times of trials and suffering. When u see only one set of footprint, it was me who carried u in my hands."
