Happy Labor Day! A good day to rest from our work, our daily lives, our burdens!
 
Even if we aren't doing 'heavy' physical work, chances are pretty good we have some internal struggles tugging at us which are dragging us down. If everything is going well for us, we have concerns for others.
 
This is a Bible verse pretty appropriate for today (or any day) from Jesus' teachings.
 
Two Bible translations (there are many!) of the same verses from Matthew 11: 28 - 30:
 
 
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I
 won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
~ THE MESSAGE
 
**
 
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
 for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
~ THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION
