THE CROSS

The Cross
A young lady was at the end of her rope. Seeing no way out she dropped to her knees in prayer.
"Lord, I can't go on," she said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."
The Lord replied,"My child, 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 young lady was filled with relief. "Thank you Lord," she sighed, and she did what she was told.
Upon entering the other door, she saw many other crosses, some so large the tops weren't even visible. Then she spotted a tiny cross leaning against the far wall. "I'd like that one Lord," she whispered. And the Lord replied,"My daughter, that is the cross you just brought in."
We all have our trials and tribulations, yet sometimes those of others seem so much less troubling than our own.
