The words
I saw you smile at them today. The easy one. The one you have practised until nobody asks. I know exactly what it cost you.
You held it together all the way home. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. I know.
You do not have to hold it here. Set it down. Nothing changes between us. If you want a quiet place to rest this week, the free seven day devotional is in the pinned comment.
A verse to hold on to
“Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.”
Proverbs 14:13 (KJV)
