I am in contact with many who are “heavy laden” lately.
Sometimes I am the “heavy laden” one.
Isn’t that just such a beautiful description?
We are all carrying our own loads in so many different ways.
So when I came across these verses they hit me so beautifully today (Matthew 11:28-30):
I love that Christ is beckoning to us, “Come.”
“I will give you rest.”
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me…for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I’m not sure who needed to hear that today (maybe all of us), but I just felt propelled to share.
Sending love out to all my fellow friends who are heavy laden.
May we find rest in Him.
The one who came to save us all.
I love that passage. You’ve got to read this book, which expounds on the character of Christ so well.

I just put it on my wish list!
I have always loved this part of Hansel’s Messiah and I know you’re a music fan too so you might enjoy it 🙂 now I can’t read the scripture without hearing it to this tune! https://youtube.com/watch?v=lu9hm5kBhGM&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Oh I love that SO much. You must know me well, Handel’s Messiah is one of my favorites!
