One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two pairs of footprints in
the sand one belonging to me and the other to God
When the last scene of my life flashed before us,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at times along the path of life
there was only one set of footprints.
I noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times of my life. This really bothered
me and I questioned God about it. "God, 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 in times
when I needed you most, you would leave me."
God replied. "My precious, precious child. I love
you and I would never, never leave you during your
times of trials and suffering. When you see only one
set of footprints it was then that I carried you."
So sorry for your loss. Please draw comfort from Revelations 21:3&4. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.†We have such a beautiful promise from god that we look forward to.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times.
