A mixture of saline and water which appears during a specific episode.
It can occur when a foreign object enters the area.
It can be produced through irritation, emotion, a strong odor or taste.
It acts as a cleanser. It can come at the most unpredictable times.
When your heart is aching over a lost love.
When you’ve shared angry words with a friend or spouse.
When a loved one departs this temporary life.
When you feel alone, betrayed, hopeless.
When there are no words to express what is in the heart.
God give us these little droplets to renew us – to release the sadness –
To wash away anger, frustration, grief, loss.
They can come gushing out or merely trickle.
Tears.
Tears give us new strength and power.
Every time I cry, I feel as though the flood gates have opened.
Once the cry is over there is true sense of relief.
Thank you, Lord, for tears. Help me to know that they are a good thing.
Keep me from being embarrassed or ashamed when my tears fall.
Remind me of the tears shed at your death.
Assure me that through your resurrection and ascension, I will see you.
My tears of sorrow will turn to tears of joy when I enter heaven.
After that time there will be no more tears.
Lovely post. Yes, tears are blessings. Your words reminds me of the Psalm 56:8 “You have kept count of my tossings; put me tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?” He is a kind and loving Father who knows our heart aches and not one of our tears is shed without His loving hand reaching out and collecting for His bottle. Thank you for the sweet reminder of His Words and love. “Are they not in Your Book?” blessings, denise

Thank you, Lisa. Tears can be for our good, because they release endorphins and also allow us to express without words how we feel. We all need to shed a few now and then.
