Heavy Heart

My heart is heavy with love........the weight is good because it represents the love I carry for so many. I love the heart of man because it is there we can see who he really is. The heart even when damaged by the wear and tear of life, functions every second of everyday beating out the rhythm of life. The heart is an organ that carries the soul of man as well as keeps him physically alive. Our heart weights more than all the other organs because we carry other people in it. We carry our sorrow and love for each one we know. Strangers can speak a word of kindness and it touches our heart. There are times when we have to guard our hearts because on more disappointment would just break it. The heart is so much more than even the mind of man; if we live from our heart and not our mind our neighbors will become our family. The heart can feel heavy with the joy of love when we meet face to face our newborn baby, the heart feels like it could burst with pride for every accomplishment we see our children master. The heart only stops working when we take the leap from our earthly abodes to our heavenly home.
I love this heart of mine......so far it has only skipped a beat when he kissed me on my front steps and when we said I do! Then with the news that I carried his children it skipped from time to time. My heart loves deeply and it always guides me into the truth of loving unconditionally. I am most fortunate to have a heart that pants after God. My heart can never be too heavy.....even the grief I carry for the sick and dying means it is full of love for those same ones.
The heart of man will make him linger on his death dead just to ease the pain of his loved ones. The heart is the most amazing organ we have as life and death touch it, yet it beats on. The mind will turn a man to drugs and alcohol for relief but the heart will bring a man to his senses and sober him up! The heart is the greatest of all other organs because the spirit of God can take up residence there as well as all those others we will carry there in our life time. So yes my heart is heavy ......heavy with the only things worth taking when I leave this world.....I am taking your love with me, where ever that may be!
