Bear one another's burdens........
In Galatians 6: 5 we are told that there are burdens for which each one of us must take responsibility. We are to seek the Lord and with His enablement, we are to do what we can for ourselves. However, the longer I live, the more convinced I am that our modern world is constantly under satanic attack and pressure. Most of us know people who suffer from disease, sickness, loneliness, unemployment and a whole host of other pressures that just seem to be constantly escalating. There are times in each one of our lives when the pressure is so great, that it can only be handled if others will come to our aid and lend a helping hand. As we leave for Uganda, we know we will encounter those with unspeakable need. We cannot solve all the problems we will face there, but we are admonished in Galatians 6: 2 to "bear one another's burdens." We accept the wonderful privilege that is ours to bear the burdens of our brothers and sisters there and to do what we can to improve the quality of life for those who need a wheelchair. We know that as we meet a physical need, we will have plenty of opportunities to meet their spiritual needs as well. We'd ask that you be a burden bearer for us and pray that we will minister the love of Jesus Christ to all those we meet.
