So much of life has weight. We weigh babies in the first few weeks to chart crucial development. In elementary school there are many lessons and visual experiments to teach the difference between heavy as an elephant and light as a feather. As we become teenagers, we learn how much one "F" on a pop quiz can weigh down a grade point average. As young adults, we begin to weigh the burdens of childhood baggage on our shoulders. In our elders we see the weight of gravity and aging through the decline of health, the milligrams of prescription meds, and the general emotional baggage of so many decades of success and failures.
Weight is such a "loaded" word. Whatever weight you are struggling with today, remember that weight is a blessing from God! No matter what way, shape, or form it may take today. I pray the weight of your life fulfills each one of you. Know that one day your burden of humanity will end. Everyone's will at some point. God's greatest gift was a promise of forgiveness and acceptance for the weight you accumulate on earth. How else could he give measure to the magnitude of everlasting life beside him in the kingdom of heaven?
