Carrying A Cross
Spiritual Story by Paulo Coelho
In a certain village in Umbria (Italy), there lived a man who was alwaysbewailing his lot. He was a Christian, and found the weight of his cross tooheavy to bear.
One night, before going to sleep, he begged God to let him change his burden.
That night he had a dream; the Lord led him to a warehouse. "Go ahead andchange it," he said. The man saw crosses of all sizes and shapes, with thenames of their owners. He picked an average size cross -- but when he saw thename of an old friend written on it, he left it aside.
Finally, as God had permitted, he chose the smallest cross he could find.
To his surprise, he saw his own name written on it.
