Meandering Moments by Elsi

In Bible study today, we were talking about following Jesus in this new year—what does that look like? how do we know how to follow Him? and so forth. We talked about loving our neighbor (as ourself), refusing to act out of fear, spurring one another on to good works, and bearing one another’s burdens.

Five times Jesus is quoted as saying we must “take up our cross” and follow Him. I mentioned a cartoon I’d seen, showing a guy complaining to the Lord that his cross was too heavy and pleading to be allowed to cut the end off. Before I was finished, Jamela Reifsnyder (a computer whiz, as well as a wonderful mom and a superlative singer!) had found it online. So I want to share it with you: it’s well worth seeing!
