Tears

I was told crying is healthy. I've told others crying is healthy. It's a way to vent the pain that grows inside. But what about those tears that just don't quit. Does that mean that the pain won't end. Does that mean that there is an endless supply of misery waiting to avial itself through my emotions. Have you heard this line? "You just have to deal with it, honey." Deal with it... is that like some sort of Aloe Vera cure? Just put the juice on the wound and tomorrow the gash is gone. "I'm praying for you." That's great... but what do I do about the waterfall. IT'S NOT GOING AWAY!!!

And then I pick up the phone and find out I'm not the only one contributing water to the river of sorrow. I'm not the only one in pain. I'm not the only one that has to "deal with it" I guess that is why I'm so obsessed with the reality of everlasting life. You see, the river of sorrow dries up at Heaven's Gates. Am I going to find an answer to my dilemna here on earth - probably not. But life on earth isn't the end of the story. I find comfort not in my coping skills in this life, but in the grace of God that leads me to a home where there are no tears.
