Brewing Coffee

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt 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, one belonging to him and the other belonging to God.

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 of his life, there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned God about it. "God, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I've noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

God replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

P.S I would like to thank all those lovely people in my life for their wonderful and creative birthday wishes. Each one of them had touched my heart and I feel gifted to be surrounded by love. Once again, thank you. :)
