Pawprints on the snow
The other day I was walking on the snow with the Big Guy.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed pawprints on the snow. Sometimes there were two sets of pawprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of pawprints, so I said to the Big Guy,
“You promised me Big Guy, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of pawprints on the snow. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Big Guy replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of pawprints, my creation, is when I carried you.”
