Heavy hearted....

Being heavy hearted is an interesting thing.  Sometimes my heart is weighed down with grief, like when I found out about a man I know taking his life yesterday.

Other times it is weighed down with love - like it feels right now when I consider my students and all they struggle with and all they are.

The joy in having a heavy heart, is knowing that there is One who can soothe it and wants to carry my burdens for me in exchange for a burden that is easy and light.  Nobody understands more than He does, what it's like to have a heavy heart.  In fact, His heart broke completely and willingly for me.

That makes my heart feel a lot lighter.
