It is said that halfway up the Swiss alps there is a popular rest house. It is a good day's climb from the bottom to the top but you can reach the resthouse by lunch time and this where you separate the men from the boys.
When some amateur climbers feel the warmth of the fire and smell the good cooking they will say totheir companions, 'i wiil just wait here while you go to the top when you come back down i will join you and we will go to the base together'. A glaze of satisfaction comes over them and they sit by the fire , play the piano and sing mountain climbing songs. But at evening everything changes and they start looking towards the mountain top as teir friends reach it.. Suddenly the atmosphere in the rest house changes and they moan that if only i had kept climbing.
Trusting in God wont make the mountain smaller or the climb easier but the strength would be provided. Remember that mountains are meant to be surmounted. Keep climbing.
