The Monument

God, before he sent his children into the world, gave each of them a carefully selected package of problems.
"These, He promised smiling, are yours alone.
"Only you have the special talents and abilities that will make these problems your servants, and no one else may have the blessing these problems will bring you.

"So, go down to your birth, and to your forgetting.

"Know that I love you beyond measure.
"The problems I give you are a token of my love.
"The monument you make of your life, with the help of your problems, will be a token of your love for me."

Your Father
