We just move them out so the room can be thoroughly cleaned, steamed, and\/or painted, then we carry them back and put them down where they go.<\/p>\n<p>Just as I&#8217;ve asked my children to help carry these loads, our Heavenly Father asks us to help shoulder one another&#8217;s burdens. We can find those instructions in <a href=\"http:\/\/biblehub.com\/galatians\/6-2.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galatians 6:2<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Carry each other&#8217;s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sometimes our brothers and sisters are saddled with burdens to heavy for them to carry alone. <strong>God expects us to render aid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it will be for a short distance.
