Do NOT Fear "OBSTACLES IN OUR PATH"
In ancient times, a king had a boulder
placed on a roadway
You never know what is in store for you 
Then he hid himself and watched
to see if anyone
would remove the huge rock
Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and
courtiers came by
and simply walked around it
Many loudly blamed the king
for not keeping the roads clear
but none did anything about getting the big
stone out of the way
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables
On approaching the boulder
the peasant laid down his burden
and tried to move the stone to the side of the road
After much pushing and straining
he finally succeeded
As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables
he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder
had been
The purse contained many gold coins
and a note from the king
indicating that the gold was for the person
who removed the boulder
from the roadway
The peasant learned what many others never
understand
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's
condition
or your family
I personally know how "hard times and trials" are
but I also know that I am a better person
and now can help others because of them
Most of all I have learned
to Praise the Lord more because
It also gave me opportunities to be closer to Him
So hold your head up in your trials and obstacles,
cling to Jesus and what you know from His Word
and Do all you can do
and He will take up the rest
and you will be blessed for it
