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, 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 overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagine.
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 passing it on.
Funny isn't it, when you go to forward this message, how many on your buddy list will not receive it because you're not sure they believe in anything.
Funny? No!
Sad and thought provoking.
A friend of mine sent this e-mail to me this morning, I'm glad she did.[/b]

Wonderful Glen and I often ponder that forwarding of email myself. However, I am getting to where I will forward it because I could be wrong and they may read it.
and am raising my daughter to understand and respect all religions and belief systems.
