I was browsing through some e-mails and links this morning as I waited for the kids to all wake up (because I am just too tired to do anything else) and I came across a most beautiful post. It has given me a new perspective on "tears". I wanted to share it with you all so I have copied and pasted a paragraph here...
Have you ever noticed the effectiveness of tears? An interesting thing happens with sincere tears. Generally they show up when it’s time to break a barrier. It’s nearly impossible to see our lives on the other side of tragedy. Sometimes it’s equally impossible to see ourselves on the other side of a miracle. Notice that tears come when the experience is at its most critical point—good or bad—the news of a tragedy, intense physical pain, childbirth, the feeling of forgiveness, or the return of a friend. Tears seem to blur our understanding of what is, just long enough for the world to shift. Once the tears are washed away, we stand in a new reality. We take a deep breath and move on. Tears are a gift from God.

I hope you enjoy!
