November 21Beautifully Burdened
My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30 I awoke to pitch darkness. I hadnt slept more than thirty minutes and my heart sensed that sleep wouldnt return soon. A friends husband lay in the hospital, having received the dreaded news, The cancer is backin the brain and spine now. My whole being hurt for my friends. What a heavy load! And yet, somehow my spirit was lifted through my sacred vigil of prayer. You might say I felt beautifully burdened for them. How could this be?
In Matthew 11:2830, Jesus promises rest for our weary souls. Strangely, His rest comes as we bend under His yoke and embrace His burden. He clarifies in verse 30, For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. When we allow Jesus to lift our burden from our backs and then tether ourselves to Jesuss yoke, we become harnessed with Him, in step with Him and all He allows. When we bend under His burden, we share in His sufferings, which ultimately allows us to share in His comfort as well (2 Corinthians 1:5).
My concern for my friends was a heavy burden. Yet I felt grateful that God would allow me to carry them in prayer. Gradually I ebbed back to sleep and awokestill beautifully burdened but now under the easy yoke and light load of walking with Jesus.

Reflect & Pray
What are you carrying today? How will you give that burden to Jesus?
Dear Jesus, please take my heavy load and lay upon me Your beautiful burden for this world.

Hi Kathy!
Resting up for tomorrow, we're forecast to have some snow next week which is WAY TOO EARLY FOR US, we'll see what happens. Cold mornings and sunny days otherwise.
