Angel's Craft
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 problem seems 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
through it all.
