Yoke

Guess what? All my sisters and brothers-in-law had a good laugh last Sunday at Family Gatherings. We bought a real yoke from Chiang Mai! Edwin and myself were browsing at some furniture and antiques and we chance upon the Yoke. We first thought it was a bow. I casually mention this was the only 'stuff' we could carry it back to Singapore. It turned out that it was indeed a Yoke used by Bulls for farming. As we gazed, we are reminded yet again on Matthew 11: 28-30:

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

We gamely bought the Yoke back! We know it would remind us forever that the Lord's Yoke is always easy and His burden light. Now, the Yoke is waiting for a prominent location to display itself...
