Some Large, Some Small
#1
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.
