Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it.   Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 Am I a stone, and not a sheep,  That I can stand, 0 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 Am I a stone, and not a sheep,  That I can stand, 0 Christ, beneath Thy cross,  To number drop by drop Thy Blood's slow loss,  And yet not weep? Not so those women loved  Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;  Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly;  Not so the thief was moved; Not so the Sun and Moon  Which hid their faces in a starless sky:  A horror of great darkness at broad noon I only I. Yet give not o'er  But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock;  Greater than Moses, turn and look once more  And smite a rock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The weather is crazy.
