Cross

A young man was at the end of his rope.

Seeing no way out he dropped to his knees in prayer.

"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied,
"My son, if you can't bear its weight,
just place your cross inside this room.
Then open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The young man was filled with relief. "Thank you Lord," he sighed, and
he did what he was told.

Upon entering the other door, he saw many other crosses, some so large
the tops weren't even visible.

Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against the far wall. "I'd like
that one Lord," he whispered.

And the Lord replied,
"My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

We all have our trials and tribulations, yet sometimes those
of others seem so much less troubling than our own.
Share this reminder with your friends and family of how
although times may seem to be hard,we have many blessings to be thankful for.
