Encouragement
He Ain’t Heavy
By Missey Butler
It never ceases to amaze me how the human spirit without exception always rises to the occasion amid utter chaos, confusion and total devastation. Those special individuals who purposely step out of themselves in order to assist and come to the aid of others whose lives are in great peril.
Our country has been hit hard by the swift blow of a natural disaster, the likes of which we may never see again. The past seven days will no doubt be recorded in the pages of our history as people try and piece together any semblance of a normal life they knew so well only a week ago.
Many are forced to start all over again with just the clothes on their back and a small cardboard box of meager necessities. Yet within the sea of faces, there are many reflections of gratitude for simply surviving the holocaust of what assuredly will go down in the annuls of time, as the hurricane of the century.
All across America, people like myself watch the incredible display of bravery over and over again as hoards of Gulf state residence are forced into survival mode while the murky, contaminated flood waters threaten their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
The unfolding of a new day brings with it many dramatic stories of emotionally “spent” hero’s and heroin’s who without hesitation perform amazing acts of rescue and in some cases put their own lives on the line in order to save another. I stand amazed at the resilience and fortitude I observe in these precious souls who from the past have known only too well what it takes to stand “toe to toe” with the fierce enemies of hurricane’s past.
When considering the inner strength, bravery and undeniable character of these very special people, it only stands to reason how one could understand their passion and zeal to live, despite unimaginable conditions that have only caused them to have more of a “steeled” determination NOT to go down for the count! That’s one of the reasons you will hear them say:
“He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother!”
We can certainly all learn a lesson or two by their unselfish love and their unwavering spirit. Let us join together in making sure we fight the good fight of faith along side them by doing all we can through humanitarian relief, but even more importantly, by carrying them in fervent prayer. After all,
He ain’t heavy, HE’S OUR BROTHER TOO!
