The Cross We Bear

I subscribe to http://moutainwings.com , a FREE daily inspirational message service. I don't even remember how I found out about it, but I am so glad that I subscribed. Their messages make you laugh, sometimes cry, and are always uplifting. This was today's message and I needed it.
The crosses we bear are not supposed to be heavy enough to crush us, ...but they are heavy enough to bend us to our knees.


In addition, I found this cartoon on another blog and wanted to share it.

Please pray for this family as their little boy, Maddox Donald Stanfield, was born and went to heaven on Wednesday. Today, in Texas, they celebrate his life.


"We complain about the cross we bear, but don't realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot.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 ready, to answer your call.... He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear... Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, but suddenly vanish at dawn's early light... The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love..."
