ENCOURAGING THOUGHT TO LIVE BY...
"THE CROSS ROOM"

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 the far wall.
"I'd like that one, Lord" he whispered. And the Lord replied, "My son,
that is the cross you just brought in."
