Last Fall Bob started this project of moving rocks out of the woods at our cabin. What a burdensome thing to do. Up the road there was this huge bolder that Bob and Patrick were determined to move to the cabin. Patrick was trying to come up with all kinds of schemes as how to get it there.
Burdens, like rocks, are so heavy. Sometimes we have to scheme as to how to move them. How to rid ourselves of them. They are too heave for our weak bodies. Just as this bolder was too difficult for Jocelyn and Juliet.
Burdens can be financial troubles. They can be health issues. They can be marital problems. What is a burden to one person may not be to another. So often we feel inadequate to deal with them.
Traveling light means laying aside those burdens that beset us. Allowing Christ to carry them. To remove them, or to move them. They can be heavy too. Not something you want to bear when traveling light.
