Life...

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it." "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. "In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on." "As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later, after you've rested.

He Understands


I Said:
Sometimes I feel like giving up
It seems like my best just isn’t good enough
Lord if you can hear me
I am calling you
Do you see, do you care
All about what I am going through?

God Said:
One more day
One more step
See I am preparing you for myself
And when you can’t hear my voice
Please trust my plan
For I am the Lord,
I see U and YES I understand.

Then I Said:
Sometimes I feel like I am alone
I am just like a stranger so far from home
I feel like I have done all that I can do
Please lord, give me strength
I am just trying to make it through

God told me again:
Just One more day
Just One more step
For I am preparing you for myself
And when you can’t hear my voice
Please trust my plan
For I am the Lord,
I see U and YES I understand.

Then I Said:
But , But Lord,
This is more than I can bear
It has become so hard to share
I know you said you will always be there
But you have forgotten me here

God Said:
I am the Lord, I changeth not
I won’t forget nor have I forgot
You see everything works according to my plan
I am God trust me
I have got the whole world in my hand
