"Lord" I replied, "I cannot believe that. Look at the footprints, they are not Yours but mine. If they were Yours then the weight of You carrying me would make them much deeper. No they are definitely just mine".

The Lord smiled with the love of a wise father and said: "Of course they are your footprints, but I did carry you. Not literally of course, but I held your hand to keep you going. Look at the times when you were lonely- did I not guide a Good Samaritan friend to phone you or visit you? Did that not lift your heart and spirit -  did you not feel better and able to face your problems? When you were estranged from your loved ones and surrounded by hostilities, was there not always a Veronica friend or stranger ready to wipe your tears? or a Simon to help carry the burden of your cross?

My child, you are stronger and have learned the value of kindness shown when in need".

I remembered and felt much happier. I understood that my prayers had been answered during those times.

"My Child", the Lord continued, "I often ask a service of those who love Me. A service to open their hearts to My call and help another who is lost. Can I now ask that of you? Will you let me show you who needs My help? Will you be a Good Samaritan, a Veronica or a Simon, my servant? For, child,whatsoever you do for the least of my brethren, you do unto me".
