He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother....

My Most AMAZING God, Your grace never ceases to amaze me... I knew on Monday that I would not be doing the prayer that night and was not in the least bit surprised when HumblEE offered to do it because a prayer had been on her heart that day... I've been chomping at the bit for two days now, since You gave me this song.... My prayer tonight Lord would be that we, as stewards of this amazing planet, would worry as much about our brother as we do ourselves... Random Acts of Kindness have the power to change this world one random act at a time... Lord, please give us the strength we need to "soldier on" every day and fight for all that is good and wonderful in Your sight... Not just in this great nation I call home, The United States of America, The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave, but in all the lands on this earth.... I know without even a hint of a doubt that You have this and I for one am eternally grateful... I don't know how people who don't believe in You manage to sleep at night with all the scary things going on in this world... I know You are proud of me since I stopped hopping in Your lap at every little noise... I trusted You to pray and look how that turned out!! Just pretty please don't ever make me turn five... I love four so crazEE much and I'm afraid if I grow up too much, I will somehow miss this incredible view... You gave me this song a few days ago and even though it has always had the power to jerk tears out of my eyes, I also realize it is a timeless concept... I wake up every day in complete awe of You, my Most Amazing God... Lord, spread Your blanket of protection over our troops... Touch our Gold Stars in a special way so that they know a whole world of really good people pray for them every single day... Let us always strive to be the good we hope to see in somebody else... All of this I pray, in Your Most Holy Name... Amen... The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy he's my brother He's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother HOLLIES - HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER LYRICS THE HOLLIES - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My BrotherSusan Spicer Mason Wow.... It's 3:30am and I am in one of the deepest talks of my life with God... Not about anything new, I'm just tucked a little deeper in his lap, understanding a little better what he's telling me, and knowing that he knows I get it.. As he wraps his arms a little tighter around me, and holds me ever closer to his heart, the beating of my own heart seems to fall even more in sync with his.. Then I get this message... Our God IS an AWESOME GOD.... I am blessed....


... that the answers are within you. You're chasing in the wrong field. What you are looking for is inside of you, not 'out there'. Take a few days off to become quiet and look within, and you will find it

He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother--The Hollies (Couldn't have said it any better myself...) Pray...pray...pray...and always give thanks...for the things we have...and even more importantly sometimes, the things we don't have... I have never in my life been more humbled by his Grace than I am right now, and there is no particular reason for it...Except that he thought I needed to know??? I believe with all my heart and soul that one of his greatest gifts to me was my total sense of awe and amazement at the world around me... If I can help inspire just one more person to look around them and say, "WOW!!! Just WOW!!!", my life has not been in vain... If every child of God could get just one person to "help them cry" for those that don't have a voice, we can change the world... One tear at a time... Any takers??? (From several yrs ago)
