A Dream!

One night a man dreamt that he was walking along a beach with the Lord, across the sky flashed scenes of his past life. Each time he noticed that there were two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him and another to the Lord.

But he noticed that sometimes there was only one set of footprints. And he recalled that at just those times he had had the saddest and hardest days of his life. This bothered him and so he complained to the Lord and said, "Lord, you told me that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But now I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left me just at the times when I needed you mos

The Lord replied, "My child, I never left you at all during those times. You see only one set of footprints, because during those hard times I lifted you up and carried you."

In Matthew 11: 30 Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
