In a dream a man complained to the Lord about the weight of the "cross" he had to carry. The Lord told him to lay down that cross and to go to the room of crosses and chose another one. The man obeyed. When he entered the room of crosses he saw crosses of all makes and sizes. Some were as big as skyscrapers and others as small as a toothpick. Looking around, the man soon found a cross that was just the right size for him to carry. Pointing to it, he said to the Lord, "I think I could manage that one." The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross which you just laid down."
