Inspired by an Old forwarded message!

A very long time ago a friend(Lee-ann Stober) sent me this message and today, as I felt the need for inspiration I went thruough my old e-mails and I stumbled upon a very catchy one. It was simply entitled "The Ant and the contact lens" The title caught my attention and after re-reading this e-mail I thought some of you might need it as much as I did. So, here is it. Read it to the very last word and tell me if you are not challenged.

Here goes:

I think we all need this right now, remember, the Lord will not
give you a load which you are unable to carry. He is there to help.
Blessed
carrying everyone. Remember, you are not alone

A true story by Josh and Karen Zarandona

Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing.
Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a
tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear,
took a
hold on the
rope, and started up the face of that rock.
Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she
was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye
and
knocked out her contact lens. Well, here she is on a rock ledge,
with
hundreds of
feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she
looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but
it just
wasn't there. Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She
was
desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help
her to
find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her
clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found.
She sat
down,
despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them
to make
it up the face of the cliff. She looked out across range after range
of
mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, The eyes of the
Lord run
to and fro throughout the whole earth.
She thought, Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know
every stone and leaf. At the bottom there was a new party of
climbers just
starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, Hey, you
guys!
Anybody lose a contact lens?
Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the
climber saw it?
An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it!

Brenda told me that her father is a cartoonist. When she told him
the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens,
he
drew a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens with the words,
"Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat
it, and
it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll
carry it
for
You." I think it would probably do some of us good to occasionally
say,
"God, I don't know why you want me to carry this load. I can see no
good
in it, and it's awfully heavy But, if you want me to carry it, I
will."
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
