Fun in the sun
One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that, many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me, and I 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 child, I love you, and I would never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you see one set of footprints, that was when you hopped on your right leg, and I hopped on my left leg, and we tried to make it look like only one person was walking, and then we fell over onto each other, and you started tickling me until I was crying laughing, and when you stopped I said, ‘Okay, now let’s make it look like dinosaurs left footprints on the beach!’ And we laughed and laughed, and you looked into my eyes and stroked my cheek and said, ‘I’ll never forget this day.’”
Boy, I feel like a dick …
