Yet again have been reminded that I am truly not alone….
One night, a man dream that he walked along a shore
with the Divine Source of all things (some of us will know this as God), and as they walked
scenes from his life flashed across the sky above them.
Most of the time, he saw two sets of footprints in the sand for each scene,
but many times along the path there was only one set of footprints, often at the very
darkest and saddest times, and the man was greatly troubled.
He turned to the figure beside him and said, “I looked for you and tried to serve
you all my days. I thought that you would care for me in return, yet
now I see that during the most difficult time of my life, I was alone.
I don’t understand why you would leave me when I needed you most.”
The Divine Intelligence replied, “My precious child, you are always in my heart,
and I would not desert you in your times of trial and difficulty. When you saw
only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you”
