I heard a saying this past weekend that I've been hearing for years and for some reason it truly resonated with me...LAY IT DOWN! Remember when we were younger and we would hear the adults especially our grandparents and great grandparents use the phrase...When your burden gets heavy..lay it down. Think about that statement for a minute. When the burden gets heavy..lay it down. My goodness..lay it down!
I began to use the phrase and each time I asked myself to "lay it down" I instantly became at peace. I seemed to relax and see things in a different perspective. I felt as if the burden was in front of me and I could see it in a different light. LAY IT DOWN!!!
I am asking you to do yourselves a favor this week and LAY IT DOWN! Whatever it is...lay it down. Regardless of how heavy it may seem, rest your mind and lay it down! If you decide to pick it up again, I guarantee it will be lighter as you have had the chance to look at it for what it is...A NOTHING! Pure and simple...NOTHING!!!
Lay it down my friends..Lay it down. Whatever it may be...LAY IT DOWN!!
Until the next time,
-Peaceful thoughts,
