And oh, i found this while surfing, and thought this is just so meaningful
The Cross
"Lord, I can't go on," he prayed. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "Son, If you can't bear its weight, just place your cross in this room. Then, go to the other room, and pick up 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. 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 imagine

Hi Gloria,
I can't even bring myself close to relate to how you must feel. Yet I do have my fair share of life's painful hiccups, and times like these I like to dwell in His presence and be reminded of Matthew 11:
“Come unto Me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light, says the Lord."
In agreement to your post, when we see how we're covered by His love and grace; we're reminded how blessed we truly are.
Wish you a happy weekend, and good times with your loved ones this CNY :)
Thanks for your encourgaing words, Aan. I find solace and comfort in HIS words and HE keeps me going no matter how the road ahead will be like.
Thanks so much for sharing this,Gloria. Your strength and positive outlook in the midst of trying times is inspiring. Just thought about you today and wondering how you were doing and so decided to pop by your blog and lovely store. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. x Su Ling
