Carry Each Other’s Burdens

A Thought From Cheryl Zelenka

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galations 6:2 (NKJV)

My word for 2014 is PERSPECTIVE. When you are facing a trial, try to see the blessing IN the adversity. However, the story below tells how a lengthy trial can weaken and discourage us. Let’s all be sure to carry each other’s burdens! God bless you!

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?” 

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” 

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.” Remember to put the glass down.
