We recently received a group email that was worth resending, but could not figure out its origination, (to give credit to where it was due). If some one reads this and claims it, I would be glad to give you credit. The story begins with a picture of two fellows carrying heavy crosses... one prays that his cross be shortened. A while later he ask again for his cross to be shortened, and inches were cut from the end. He asks again and again and each time more inches were removed,until it became light enough to carry with a smile.
However, the two reach a deep canyon separating them from a gorgeous wondrous world on the other side.... the one with the shortened cross is dumbfounded as to how to get across. the other lays his cross down and walks across the canyon into paradise. The other sits in darkness and is unable to get over there because his cross had become too short. No matter what your religious beliefs are or are not, its a great story about the magic of the gifts in any trauma or hard time.
And its a great way to visualize our life philosophy:
All things are as they are suppose to be, BUT nothing is as it seems, and if you trust you will find that it is often better.
These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake
