What is in your bucket?

The man was hauling around a bucket of rocks. Why, I do not know... For how long or how far will he carry them, I do not know that either. The man was packing a bucket of rocks and I snapped the photo when he set them down for a moment.

While there may be a fabulously wonderful explanation for lugging the stones about, I was struck by the Lenten-life-metaphor: What are we, likewise, carting around that is a burden that we do not need to bear?

You know what I mean….shame, blame, guilt, regret for things done or left undone, brokenness, hopelessness, {and the list goes on and on!} What is weighing down our spirits? What are we packing around that we refuse to surrender to the Savior who already died for all of it?

It was just a bucket of rocks…or was it?
