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 cannot 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 will 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,
I, the Rock Will lend 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 aCity paved with Gold.
I know that you are tired,
for I too have walked this way.
My sorrows did they multiply,
but I cleared many stones away.
I left My Rock to lift you up.
I left behind My story.
To give you strength to make your climb,
to that Special place in glory.
And NEVER, NEVER fear, the Rock is here,
you will never Climb this mountain alone.
Surmount life's sorrows; continue on,
for they are Only but stepping stones.
If anyone knows the author of this beautiful
writing, let me know so I can give them proper
credit.
