I Need Propped Up Sometimes

I don't know about you guys but 
I need propped up sometimes.....
  ~  

 ~ 
Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old 
fellow who always prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on 
our leanin' side. 
  ~  
'After hearing him pray that prayer many times, 
someone asked him why he prayed that prayer 
so fervently?
  ~  
He answered, "Well sir, you see, it's like this... 
I got an old  barn out back.  It's been there 
a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather;
it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood 
for many years. It's still standing. But one day 
I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit." 
  ~  
"So I went and got some pine poles and propped 
it up on its leaning side so it wouldn't fall.
Then I got to thinking about that and how much 
I was like that old barn. I've been around a long 
time.  I've withstood a lot of life's storms.
I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, 
I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still 
standing too." 
  ~  
"But I find myself leaning to one side from time 
to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on 
our leaning side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to 
leaning at times." 
  ~  
"Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, 
leaning toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred,
leaning toward cussing, leaning toward a lot of 
things that we shouldn't." 
  ~  
"So we need to pray, "Lord, prop us up on our 
leanin' side, so we will stand straight and tall 
again, to Glorify the Lord." 
  ~  
  ~  
If you Stare at This Barn for a second you 
will see who will help us stand straight 
and tall again. Do You See HIM? 
  ~  
Pass This On to Others Who 
Might Need Propping Up.
