Good Morning Everyone,
I started this morning looking for a Chicken Little type story because of all the "Sky is Falling" type of stuff running rampant right now. Then I remembered I was sent this story from Mark and I think it fits the all around attitude these days, much better. The stocks "I" own (which are all down right now, lucky me!!) are the smallest cross I have in my life right now! What about yours???
The Cross Room:
The 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 man was filled with relief.
"Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and he did as he was told.
Upon entering the other door, 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.
And the Lord replied," My son, that is the cross you just brought in."
When Life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.
Have a great weekend William, ,,,,,,,,,,,,Mark
Have a great day!!! (Jane, see, 4 words)
