Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord. Across the sky flashed scenes of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him and the other belonging to the lord. When that last scene of his life flashed befor him, he looked at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened in the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This realy bothered him so 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 of 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 son, my precious child, i love you and, i would never leave you. During those times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, that is when i carried you."

I have seen this before but that takes nothing away from what is a very special piece of writing for me and,I daresay for others too.
It's worth keeping/remembering

I like it. But this one's better: Last night I had a wonderous dream, of prints in beach sand I had seen. Though my feet hadn't walked that shore, I saw the footprints of my Lord. And when a different print appeared, I asked the Lord, "What have we here?" "This print is larger, round and neat, and wasn't made by walking feet." "My child," He said in somber tone, "For miles I carried you alone." "I challenged you to stand - not ride, to walk and let Me be your guide. You would not stand, you would not grow, the walk of faith you would not know. So them I finally got fed up, and there I dropped you on your butt." "Because in life, there comes a time, when one must fight and one must climb. When one must rise and take a stand, or just leave butt prints in the sand." Anonymous

It is inspirational, knowing that God never leaves us nor forsakes us.
