Flowing Tears

I've been kind of weepy lately. One of the downsides to an open, vulnerable heart is that the emotions flow more freely and sometimes flow right out of the eyes. I used to pride myself that I didn't cry often and, in my work as a pediatric physical therapist, you don't want to be a crier. But lately the tears have begun to flow and old memories and emotions that I thought were destroyed have resurfaced. I read in Amy Grant's book Mosaic that there is nothing in this world that a little saltwater can't heal. So these salty tears are healing something that I had thought was gone. Those memories/emotions weren't gone but buried alive. Nothing buried alive will stay buried: it digs its way back to the surface. Something good will come of these tears...

Have a blessed day!
