The crosses of our burdens


A man cried on to God that his cross to heavy to carry. He moaned and groaned so much that God finally got tired of it and sent a Angel to him.... "God, has heard your prayer," said the angel. So the angel took him by the hand and led him to a mountain of crosses and said " Choose which ever cross you want..." So the man searched and searched looking for the smallest cross he could find. "THIS is the cross I want!" he exclaimed. The Angel looked at him in exasperaion, "But THAT'S the cross you had!"
