I have found
through the years and in a series of Church responsibilities that as
long as I balance the load, delegate and shift the burden if it
becomes too cumbersome, making sure that family, business, and other
interests counterbalance my load of duty, it becomes light. If the
yoke chafes or irritates, I whittle or sand it down by learning more
about the position and educating myself in the work. Then the yoke
becomes comfortable and easy, as the Lord said it would. Of course,
the cushion or pad that spans the neck is the knowledge we have of
the divinity of this great latter-day work, our testimony of the
gospel. That is what really cushions the shocks and jolts as we
carry our burdens down the rocky road of life. - Spencer

in the Church,” Ensign (CR) November 1984
