#18 radiation treatment down. 17 to go. To me, crying is a gift. It really is the soul's way of releasing & expressing. Today I am thankful for Tears... Tears with the most gratitude that I am half way through my treatments & Tears of heartache that I never felt in my whole life having to go through this. Tears of sorrow, tears of joy, tears of frustration, tears of anguish, tears of anger, tears of despair. All of our tears are a gift from God. Not one tear that slips from our eyes goes unseen by our loving Heavenly Father. Not one time do we cry alone. Tears show God the depth of our sorrow, desire & need. When we weep, God listens. Tears clear our head & help us think. They release pent up emotions during trials & hardship & during the heights of joy. They let others around us know how deeply we feel. Tears are a healthy expression of what we feel, both consciously & subconsciously. Anything you want to share , please do! As always thanks for being in my life!

II Cor 7-10 "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death"

Thes 3-4 " For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
Psalms 34-17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Wise and well thought out Mrs. TL ... God is working on our spiritual beings. I shed plenty of tears the past few to several years also and am not ashamed and do not resist. My situations have been different, but my tears have been very sorrowful from emotional hurt, and long through the day and night at times. There is alternatives to accepting being sad but it will not make a person better like sadness will.
