What makes you cry?

(1/4) > >>

Caralis:
I very rarely cry.  In fact I can remember as a child at school that other kids would sometimes remark that I didn't cry.

Occasionally though I do find my eyes watering, and for the most curious reasons.

For example, a few weeks ago I was reading a magazine in the coffee lounge at my church.  It had a feature on some people who had gone hiking in Wales, and that got me started.  The point was that this was no ordinary hike.  They were walking in the footsteps of Mary Jones, and I suppose that that was what suddenly brought tears to my eyes.  Fortunately I'm not sure anyone noticed.

So many things leave me unmoved, but the idea of someone walking more than twenty miles in pursuit of the word of God did make an impact on me.

I never know the how & the whys of  when I cry.

The last time I did was last week when my husband got broadsided by a car going too fast on a rainy road.  After about an hour at the side of the road (we had been yakking to passers by, the police, etc. even laughing), the medic came over and said that the lady who hit us had died.  Just like that I started crying-I felt so sad. Then it was over.

Sad things about children & animals will affect me too.

Sometimes meditating on God's goodness & greatness & my smallness will get me going. And of course we know that Jesus wept.

Othertimes, when I feel like I should bcz someone just told me some bad news I don't and then i feel cold.



Angie, now you are FUNNY!!!
