Solution
Footprint
One night a man had a dream. He dreamt that he was walking along the beach with god. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other, to God.
After the last scene had flashed, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He observed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints and that it happened at the saddest, most troubling times of his life.
He questioned God about it. “God, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. So I don’t understand, why you left me alone when I needed you most.”
God replied, “During your times of trials and sufferings, where you saw only one set of footprints, they were mine for it was then that I carried you in my arms.”
