Bruce, you just reminded me of this little story. It's been around for awhile, but it's still good:

Your Cross

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 a far wall.

"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. And the Lord replied,

"My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around
and see what other people are coping with. You may consider
yourself far more blessed than you imagined.
