"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give
you rest."
We can sympathize with Porris Wittel, a dock worker in
Gillingham, England. For 47 years he hated his alarm clock. For
47 years that thing jangled him awake. On the day of his
retirement he got his revenge. He took his alarm clock to work
and he flattened it in an eighty-ton hydraulic press. He said,
"It was a lovely feeling." I'll bet it was.
What burdens do you need to get rid of?
(Matthew 11.28
NRSV)
A University of Michigan study found that one-third of all
physicians in the United States are so busy working that they are
two years behind the breakthroughs in their own field. That's
scary. As the Queen of Hearts said in Alice in Wonderland, "It
takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If
you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as
fast as that!" Some of us are caught up in a hectic life-style
and it is depressing!
Dear Jesus, thank you for helping me to carrying my burdens. May I leave the ones I need to let
go with you. Amen.
