A long time ago God
had a great many
burdens that He
wished to have
carried from one
place to another on
Earth. He asked the
animals to lend a
hand, but all of
them had excuses for
not helping; the
elephant was too
dignified; the lion,
too proud; and so
on...
Finally the birds
came to God and
said, "If you will
tie the burdens into
small bundles, we'll
be glad to carry
them for you. We are
small, but we would
like to help."
So God fastened upon
the back of each
bird a small bundle,
and they set out
walking across the
plain to their
destination. They
sang as the went,
not minding the
weight of their
burdens at all.
Every day the
burdens seemed
lighter and lighter,
until the loads
seemed to be lifting
the birds, instead
of the birds
carrying the
burdens.
When they arrived at
their destination,
they discovered that
when they removed
their loads, there
were beautiful wings
in their place.
Wings that enabled
them to fly to the
tree tops and soar
through the sky,
closer and closer to
God.
The burdens we carry
for others, as well
as ourselves, become
wings of the spirit,
lifting us to new
places and bringing
us closer and closer
to God.
May you always Soar
in spite of your
burdens!
