He Ain't Heavy

I have missed a few days of writing and I am sorry for letting my readers down. However, I am not one bit sorry for the time I have spent not writing things down because, you see, I was busy living, learning and growing. I have been used as a tool for God in a way that has been more clear than usual for me to see in the past few days. God has put words in my mouth to encourage two friends and a family member that have felt so completely troubled by things that they have done such things as admit selfishness, cried tears of pain, and/or secluded themselves from everyone and everything in order to get things straight in their life. I have been learning from God how to best carry another person's burden. The closer I am to the person, the heavier the burden load seems to be. It really hurts to carry such a weight but it's a joy to have this ability given to me by The Almightly God. There is a song from years ago that I believe is called "He ain't heavy. He's my Brother!" This title explains how I feel pretty dag gone well.

Was that the version by the "Hollies" or the "Osmonds"?

hahaha....i have no clue, Aaron...hahaha. I don't suppose it matters other than the fact that I always a had a big crush on Donnie Osmond. So, considering that, I guess I'll have to choose the Osmond version...hahaha ;)
