"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest" (Mt. 11:28). Words that carry a lot of meaning these days. Many are weary. Everything seems "heavy." And we are tired. Jesus invites us to exchange our yoke, all that we're "carrying," with his, a yoke that is "easy" and "light." It is possible to set aside the heavy yokes that weigh us down and bind us to the past, in order to walk his way of gentleness and humility. ~Kenneth Kovacs
