Description:
"One night a man had a dream. He dreamed 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, and the other
to the Lord.
When 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 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 when I needed you most you would
leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only
one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." -- Woven Cotton -- 16" W x 20" H
