The following story decorated with seashells in the margins.
''One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him, the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path there was only one set of footprints.
He recalled that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. He questioned, ''Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. Then, why during the most troublesome times in my life, the times when I needed you most, would you leave me?''
The Lord replied, ''My precious, precious child, I love you and 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.''
