“The LORD said, “…I relieved [your] shoulder of the burden,
[your] hands were freed... You called
in trouble and I rescued you;
I answered you in the hiding place of thunder
and proved you ….“ —Psalm 81:6-7
Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light..
Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued,
it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced.
Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent,
long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright,
not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things;
sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.
Thomas a Kempis
“Burdens shared are halved; compassion can lighten anyone’s load.”
