Rest from the
burdens, the heavy loads
of life, of our
day to day, our lives cluttered
filled by the
urgent, not the important
carrying too much,
too great a load
Rest from the
struggles, in the grace of simplicity
the discipline of
letting go, of setting down
the unnecessary
load, of picking up the yoke of Christ
the burden
lightening under the yoke
Rest under his
yoke, sharing the journey with our Savior
walking in his
presence, in his light, transformed
released of the
loads, the burdens we have carried
lifted up, rising,
new lives, going
Rest for the
journey, focused, our eyes on him,
our heart, our
faces, set for Jerusalem, to his destiny
understanding more
fully, perhaps, the words of the Master
the sacrifice on
the cross, the freedom
Rest for today,
for tomorrow, lives ordered by the rocks,
by the important
things of our walk, our days
Rest in our Lord,
under his yoke, together
to carry the load,
the joy, our cross, into the world
