The Burdens People Carry

She is 32, beautiful, happy, and good.

But, her burdens are heavy.  

She has a handicapped child; and he wears her out.  She has three other children, as well, so she is often exhausted and overwhelmed.  But, whenever you see her, she is smiling.  And, her SS lessons are inspiring.  They are honest, from the heart, and show her diligent preparation.  

How does one ease the burdens of women like DP?

She is young, beautiful, and good.

But, her burdens are heavy.  

Her husband had testicular cancer and he has severe anger management issues.  He is not a MAN any more and it is a heavy burden for him and his wife.  Her smile is beautiful, but behind the eyes, there is a lingering sadness as she thinks of her two sons and the fear they have of their father; perhaps his anger will flare up at any moment.

How does one ease the burdens of good women like NO?

I'm at a loss as to how to help, and yet, that is our call; to bear the burdens of our sisters.

I plead for help in knowing HOW to help, what to do.

Their hearts are secretly heavy and because their hearts are heavy, so is mine.
