A young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.
"Lord, I cant 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 & pick out any cross you wish"
The man was filled with relief & said "Thank you Lord" & did as he was told.
Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large, the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
"I'd like that one Lord", he whispered.
The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in"
When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around you & see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate then you imagined.

ReplyDeleteI'm privileged to work in the nursing profession, because so many of my patients are suffering in many different ways, and it always makes my problems seem so small in comparison.
Wow. Powerful.
