Footprints In The Sand

This poster caught my eye as I was just looking around the office of where I'm currently employed at. Actually the poster itself is not that eye-catching because it's colors have already faded due to the years it had spent hanging there on the wall but the message it contains brought tears to my eyes. I just want to share this with you even though I copied it without any permissions. Haha. Hope you'll like it as I did. ^_^

The story goes like this:
One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashes scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One was mine and the other was the Lord's.
When the last scene of my life appeared before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand and to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life.
I asked the Lord about it:" LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left me when I needed you most."
The Lord said:"My precious child, I love you... I never left you during your times of trial and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I was carrying you."
