Burdens and Shoulders

We all have burdens of one form or another. For some, the burden may be physical ailments or impairments. For some, the burden may be mental and cognitive challenges. For others, the burden may be caring for someone with challenges. We all have burdens.

Today is National Caregivers Day and I want to give a HUGE shout out to all those who take on the burden of caring for others. Every Mother, Father, Friend, Brother, Sister, Medical Professional, Thank You ALL so much for taking care of us. Live is difficult; it would be more difficult without those who care. Thank you for taking on the burden of caring.

Sometimes, we feel as if the burden we are bearing is just way too much. And, sometimes, we feel that we just simply cannot go one more step. It is at these times that we need to remember that GOD cares and He is with us. We also need to remember that GOD has surrounded us with people who care - CARE GIVERS - that will help us carry that load if only we will ask.

Today's word is a Yiddish Proverb, which says, "GOD gave burdens, He also gave shoulders."

We need to never forget that while things will come, while burdens will weigh heavy, GOD has given us folks that care, folks that will help carry our burden. JESUS instructs us to help carry each others' burden. It easier to carry a load when the weight is distributed across many shoulders.

Today is National Caregivers Day. If you are giving care to others, Thank You! Your shoulders may be just what someone needs.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
