We like to “share some joy” around here. It’s an easy way to brighten someone’s day. Do you know another way to lighten someone’s load? Help carry their “stuff.”
“Carry each other’s burdens..” Galatians 6:2
Honestly, my first reaction to that verse is, “My stuff feels too heavy already, how can I carry yours too?!” But I think that’s the point. Allowing someone else to shoulder some of your struggle is freeing for you. Then you have emotional space and compassion to carry theirs as well. It is so practical, helpful, and healthy. It prevents us from being self-absorbed. It reminds others that Jesus loves them. And it reminds us of that same truth as well. Are you ready to help carry someone’s burden today? Are you ready to share some of yours? – Sandi
