Live and learn...

Hello everyone.
Something that has been on my mind for a while. I heard this somewhere and keep thinking about it.
One day Almighty had given a task to two man. He told them to carry heavy cross on their back to the river. First man carried his heavy baggage with honor and understanding quietly- taking a day at the time even know it was very heavy. Second man was constantly complaining how heavy and unbearable this task was. G-D decided to help second man and reduced his baggage in size .After a short while second man complained again about how heavy it was -while the first one keep taking this task and dealing with it as a challenge with honor. G-D decided to help second man again and reduced the size and weight of his baggage again. As we all expected second man was not happy again it was still too have for him. G-D reduced his cross to size of the palm of the hand. Soon both man came to the river. They saw Haven on the other side and really wanted to go there. The first man took his large and heavy Cross from his back put it across and crossed to the other side. The second man drowned.
It seems that in our task we are taking every step with allot of meaning to it.There never a question why us!? There is a question how can I go though it faster and make it most positive experience .I know for certain you can't run , you can't hide,you can't cheat -you have to complete your program.Sometimes it feels its coincidental,sometime it feels it faith,but most of the time I feel we must to get to the other side to find Sammy's complete spiritual and physical recovery.
Learning experience along this whole ordeal -how to have patience ,how to reach out to others,how to listen and understand fine corners of our souls,believe.Most valuable lesion I've learned is how to forgive and forget. This helps me to move on to the next level of our task.
This story makes sense to me.What about you?

XOXO Sammy and Mom.
