And that choice may mean whether we win or we loose.
Physical crossing teach us to beware,
To cross the street carefully, with faith and a prayer.
To watch for a train, or a car, or a bus,
Or drivers in whom we must place our trust.
There are times when our crossings are misunderstood.
What we planned went all wrong, though we meant it for good.
Or a friend that we love decides no longer to be
The friend that I needed and wanted; so sincerely.
Sometimes I am burdened and laden with care.
I can't carry this cross my poor soul has to bear.
Then Jesus' gently speaks to me, "Come I will give you rest.
My yoke is easy; my burdens light, I know you've done your best."
"Throughout all your life you will have crossings to bear,
Just know, my child, I will always be there,
There is no place you can go that will take you away
From my love, and my place in your heart, I will stay."
"So lean not unto your own understanding,
Through faith, be sure that I have my Hand in
Whatever comes through your life, your soul is free,
So, my loving child, pick up your cross~~~and follow Me.

Matthew 11:28-31 KJV
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
