Get Over It

Larry Johnson is one of the best motivational speakers in the world. A
few years ago he called his friend that owns a promotional business and
asked to have black tee shirts printed up with the following:

CRY ME A RIVER...
BUILD A BRIDGE...
GET OVER IT....

His friend thought that was a pretty unusual tee shirt but filled the
order. A couple of years later he was talking to Larry and he explained
the shirt. Larry married his high school sweetheart. They had been
married for many years and were on vacation. They loved to ride bikes
and were riding together when Larry got ahead of her descending a long
hill. He waited for her, but she didn't come down. A man in a truck
pulled up and asked him if he was riding with a woman with a white
helmet and purple clothes. He replied that he was and he told him to get
in the truck. His wife had hit a rock going down the hill and was badly
hurt; in fact she was now a quadriplegic. After the accident he drowned
in his sorrow for a year, and then finally decided to build a bridge and
get over it. Thus the idea for the tee shirt. He continues to love and
dote on his wife, his sweetheart, and is the only one that can
understand her when she talks and blinks her eyes.

All of us have hurts and pains from the trials in
life. But building a bridge and getting over it is the right thing to
do. One more thing that seals the deal is forgiveness. Jesus taught us
that as we forgive so shall we be forgiven, that is what brings healing.
