Today I'm thankful for my ability to cry. I know... that sounds crazy. Why on earth would I be thankful for tears?!
Well... I'm thankful that I can express emotions through tears. If you think about it, tears are kinda cool. You can cry when you're extremely happy. Or you can cry when you're extremely sad. Or when your disappointed. Or when you're tired. Or when you're overwhelmed. Or when you're lonely. Or when something really great happens.
Tonight I'm thankful for tears brought on by both great memories and disappointing endings. I'm thankful for the tears because they remind me that life happens. That we can't control it. But when God directs your paths, even the hard days can be good days.
I'm thankful for my tears because they are evidence of how deeply I care about people. I'm thankful for my tears because they are evidence of a tender heart. I'm thankful for tears because they are evidence of change.
So even though more often than not my tears are not happy/excited/really-great-happenings kinda tears, I'm thankful that even in the midst of tears, I can find my joy in Christ, my Savior & Friend.
