With aching hands and bleeding feet

We bear the burden and the heat
Of the long day, and wish 'twere done.
Not till the hours of light return
All we have built do we discern.
Knowledge is a burden if it robs you of innocence. Knowledge is a burden if it is not integrated into life. Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't bring joy. Knowledge is a burden if it gives you an idea that you are wise. Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't set you free. Knowledge is a burden if it makes you feel you are special.

I want to lay my kill at your feet.
Someday, when in the presence of our Savior, we will thank Him for every burden, every trial, and every heartache.
LOVE will lay a carpet of treasures under your feet.
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior, Standing on my own two feet.
