And the next fellow was offlike a shot.The closing scene of that amateur video showed her mother holding up little Amy. But then it turned to that burly policeman, who moments before had been looking at his watch, and his visor was up and with a handkerchief he was wiping the tears off his face.See that's really what life is all about.

Amazing Grace #1310, Steve Flatt, April 27, 1997Bear One Another's BurdensYears agothere was German soldier who was slightly wounded in a battle, and he went home to his mother.

Upon returning home his mother asked, \you?\the tremendous organization they have.\That little story reminds us again of the difference between an organization and an organism. An organization can be well-structured, but the members may not care at all about each other. But an organism, by its very nature, has a concern, a connection, and a togetherness for every part of the body. In a body there is a sharing, a caring, and a bearing of one another's burdens by the very nature of organisms.\ one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.\and, in that way, you fulfill the law of Christ.\What are the burdens that we need to bear for one another? The Greek word rendered burden is bareosmeaning something that makes an overwhelming demand, that which brings sorrow or grief. A burden is anything that oppresses the spiritual development of a brother or a sister. Now mark that well. A burden is anything that oppresses the spiritual development of a brother or a sister.
