Parable
I met an old man along the road. He was carrying a heavy bundle on his back and was so stooped over from the weight of it that he could barely take a step forward.
I said to him, "Old man, let me lighten your load. Let me carry your bundle for you."
He looked at me with wise and clear eyes and said, "If you carry this burden for me, how will I know that I am still alive?"

ReplyDeleteoops hit that button too quick, was going to say, I don't understand why people need those burdens, maybe they don't either...
DeleteNot sure why we must carry burdens, but we always seem to have some kind of monkey on our backs ...
DeleteDefinitely some bricks on shoulders that could be removed. Lots of different obstacles out there
