The Birds When had no wings

Once upon the time, the birds had no wings. They crawled about the earth. Then one day God threw wings at their feet and commanded them to pick up the wings and carry them on their backs. At first, it seemed very hard. The little birds didn’t want to carry those heavy, unwieldy wings. But they loved the Lord and, in obedience, the picked up the wings and carried them on their backs.

And lo, the wings fastened there! What they once had thought was a hampering weight and a burden, enabled them to fly!

It is one of the great lessons of life, that the burdens we carry by necessity or by choice-instead of weighting us down, actually can lift us up.

It is a psychological fact-that if you accept your burdens with the attitude of progressing forward, with a song on your lips. Or at least in your heart, then your burden become, by some miracle of nature, much lighter … so much lighter that they may spiritually lift you up!
