Galatians 6:1-5
A son has just put his father in a nursing home. He wonders if it was the best thing to do.
A daughter has recently taken her mother into her home. She wonders now if she will have enough time for her mother and her own family.

Others suffer from the deterioration of various bodily functions. Financial, personal, or family burdens weigh upon others. Most people carry burdens of one kind or another. Is there any word from the scriptures about a God who cares? Is there any direction of hope?
In his letter to the Galatian church, Paul stated that each one is to bear his own burdens and that we are to bear one another's burdens.
(Read) The psalmist declared that we are to cast our burdens on the Lord. "Now wait just a minute," we say. "That all sounds contradictory!"
But consider for moment that these three phrases may be seen as the three sides of a triangle, and they may enable us to discover a different dimension of truth regarding our burdens.
