"Your Cross"
A young man was at the end of his rope,
and seeing
no way out, dropped to his knees in
prayer. "Lord, I
can't go on,"
he said. "I have too heavy of 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 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.
YOUR CROSS
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine after the
rain.
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even
fall,
But God's always there to help you
through it all.

Funny how you can send a thousand "jokes" through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny isn't it when you go to forward this message how many on your list are not receiving it.
Funny?.........Sad...and
thought-provoking.
