Power of Tears

Day 8: Healing Power of Tears:
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all of my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your book." —Psalm 56:8

When I was reading the above I thought God must have an incredibly large bottle to hold all of my tears, never mind the tears of everyone else as well.  I cry quite a bit, as I suspect many women do. Tears are therapeutic for sure.  I always feel better after I cry.  The feeling doesn't always last for long and I cry again, but still, the release is helpful.  The focus of Anderson's entry today is on the power of tears to "reset our emotional center toward all that is good and godly."  I know, for myself, that after I have had a good cry, I tend to see things more clearly and with a better attitude.  I feel like, Okay, I can handle this. Thank you God, for the healing power of tears.
