A painted sky is fading
Come and take my hand
For all the roads you travel
Only this will stand
Pick up what is precious
Make light your load
Golden Light by Peter Mayer/Jay Oliver
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying
heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11
I simply love Peter’s line, “make light your load,” which
echoes and “spins” the words of Jesus, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.” Last summer some of my pals,
Lynne, Sarah, Ryan and Brenda and I took the notion that 12 21 12 would have
lots of people caught up in the “end of the world” hysteria.
So, we decided to echo and spin the date just a bit into 12
12 12 -meaning Give $12, Give 12 lbs and tell 12 people. In our particular case
we wanted to inspire and energize folks for Metro CareRing.
We even created a 3 minute
video about it HERE.
As well as a blog HERE.
In addition to all of that we
worked with Metro CareRing
to
do a Virtual Food Drive.
So, I put all this
data out here for you on this date. Responses have been good, but as you know
deep down in your heart and soul, “hunger doesn’t take a holiday.” So, today I
urge you to END hunger in your community. Make a gift today!
“Pick up what is precious
Make light your load”
Peace,
