A gratifying burden

You shall be laden with sheaves upon your backs.

Doctrine & Covenants 33:9

Just because it is a joyous burden to carry—laden with sheaves implies a bountiful harvest—doesn’t mean that it isn’t a heavy burden to carry which can tire you out.

Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready.

Doctrine & Covenants 33:17

“Lamps trimmed and burning and oil with you” means always being prepared and amply supplied.
