Okay, my friends, we discuss the divinely designed reality of tears this week. Tears, especially those of our little children, can sometimes trigger an emotionally intense response. Our hearts may race, our palms might sweat, and we may suddenly feel an anxious compulsion to fix the pain and eliminate the tears.

And yet, God in his most perfect wisdom,designed the human heart to release an exterior expression of our interior world through tears. Though it hurts us to watch others in pain, the tears of our child should signal an opportunity to love and connect. So rather than wanting to shut down tears as soon as they start, let us run to the tear-filled child, wipe their eyes, listen to their heart, and connect.

Hope you all have a blessed week!
