Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 A friend sent this to me and I hope it helps someone here. She was having a pity party day and said, someone sent this to her and she changed her view. The Cross A young man 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 and said, "Thank you Lord," and he 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 over whelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined. Your Cross Whatever your Cross Whatever your Pain There will always be Sunshine After the Rain. Perhaps you may Stumble Perhaps you may Fall But God's always there To help you through it all I hope this makes someone feel better. Please all take care, and May God Bless You Today and Always, love, Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
