Friday Tale - Stepping Stones

 The Lord came to me like a dream one day and asked, "why do you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord my life is so full of pain, I can't face one more tomorrow." 

The Lord sat down beside me, and gently took my hand.
He said, "Let me explain to you and then you'll understand. 

Each sorrow is a stepping stone you must surmount each day,
And every stepping stone you climb is a sorrow that's passed away. 

The road of life is a mountainside, with crevices in which to be caught,
But as you struggle on your way, your Rock, will lend you support. 

Every stepping stone you climb, makes spirit and heart grow strong.
Exercising character and faith this road seems painful and long. 

The way is paved with stepping stones, to uplift your heart and soul,
Though difficult they aid your way, to the City paved with gold. 

I know that you are tired now, for I too have walked this way,
My sorrows they did multiply, but I cleared many stones away. 

Our God is our rock to lift you up, and He gave you my story,
To give you strength to aid your climb, to that special place of glory. 

And never fear, the Rock is here, you'll never climb this mountain alone
Surmount life's sorrows, continue on, for they are but stepping stones.

The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
~ Psalm 18:2
