Heavy Hearted

Heavy Hearted

Today, I'm feeling conflicted.



 I hear the happy, beautiful voices of my sons and their cousin playing in the bedroom.  That makes my heart fill with tenderness and joy. 




I'm halfway watching a romantic comedy.   That amuses me and fills my heart with whimsy. 








I'm browsing on the web (Facebook, mostly) and reading so much that concerns me.

A little girl in Houston is recovering from a leg amputation in her continuing battle against a rare, scarey bone cancer.  That grieves me and fills my heart with awe as I read about her courage.

 Illegal coup in Paraguay
This irks me and fills my heart with dread.

An adoptive American family in Ghana falsely accused of child trafficking and imprisoned. Their 6 children placed in foster care.

That angers me and fills my heart with terror.

All of it drives my heart to it's knees.  Life is all of it.  At once.  And there's nothing I can do about any of it - not even the good stuff - except take it to the throne room of Heaven where my Father can take care of it all. 

Join me there?
