Blessings in Burdens

I was gifted with this piece, and I thought it is worth sharing here;

There is a fable about the way birds ﬁrst got their wings. The story goes that initially they were made without them. Then God made the wings, set them down before the wingless birds, and said to them, “Take up these burdens and carry them.”

The birds had sweet voices for singing, and lovely feathers that glistened in the sunshine, but they could not soar in the air. When asked to pick up the burdens that lay at their feet, they hesitated at ﬁrst. Yet soon they obeyed, picked up the wings with their beaks, and set them on their shoulders to carry them.

  1. Absolutely true! Most times, we try to push burdens away from our lives or we try run from them unknowingly that behind them, there is victory and joy. Thanks for sharing Vincent!!
