14.7.11

The Woman at the well

I know that her jar is much too big for her to carry back full of water.  I did it that way initially because I wanted her to be leaning on it.  But thinking about it afterwards, I thought that often the things we carry around with us that we don't want to let go of are too big, and turn out to be burdens that grind us down.  Jesus said, "Come to me, you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
