Sharing the Load
I have been watching a old show (reruns) on television over the last few months on a regular basis. The show involves two teams that compete with each other over building a certain item out of materials in a junkyard. You probably know the name of the show. When I was first asked to watch the show, I had my reservations. However, I got hooked and now I look forward to watching the show. I think it is because deep down inside, it appeals to the tinkerer, the mechanic, the builder of Lincoln logs, legos, shop class, etc. I also think we identify with the individuals working together as a team, putting their ideas together, to create the final product.
When we work together for a common goal and purpose, we share each others’ burdens. Galatians 6:2 tells us to "carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Each day we are given a task: to live our lives to the fullest for God. Many times that day can be heavy with burdens. Let us share the load with each other and make the burden lighter.
Blessings to all,
