Tearful Leaf


It looks like this leaf is shedding a tear. There are times in life that you can not hold back the tears. Sometimes thay are tears of joy and other times the sadness of life circumstances brings a tear to your eye.

Watching the evening news here lately has brought many a tears to my heart. I almost dread turning on the television. Would it be great if there was a news station that only reported the good that is in the world? The sad thing is so little people would watch, that they would have to cancel the show.

There is a time and a place to cry. Crying helps to release the tension and hopelessness we may feel. Holding all the emotions inside causes all kinds of health problems.

For years I held back the tears because I thought it was a sign of weakness. Not anymore.

Jesus wept. One of the most powerful sentence in the Bible. If He could shed tears, I know I am in good company when I cry for the hurting and sadness I see everytday.

Like this leaf, I shed a tear. I also pray to Jesus everyday and He wipes my tears away.
