Lots of Tears These Days

You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
Psalm 58:6

Feeling so thankful that we have a Heavenly Father that loves us so much, and in His great compassion for us, He collects every tear that falls from our eyes and even records them!  Wow, we're sure keeping our Father busy these days!  Emotions are running so high in each of our lives right now, in so many ways, with so many major life changes and transitions happening all at once!

Sunday morning one of our sweet daughters was shedding tears over some circumstances going on in her life right now.  By the Lord's divine appointment, we happened to see those tears and hopefully helped to carry the burden in some small way.

Monday morning we woke to another daughter's tears as she continues to walk through a very deep valley and as she processes some huge transitions in her life.

Tuesday morning a third daughter was shedding a mixed bag of sad and joyful tears as she prepares and adjusts to the new season of her life beginning soon!

Then, there are all my own tears as my mother's heart deeply feels every joy and pain of my children. The saying "once a mother, always a mother" is so very true!  No matter how old they are and no matter what the circumstances may be, my mother's heart can't help but experience all of the emotional highs and lows that each of my children go through. Lots of tears flowing these days . . . tears of happiness, gratitude, excitement, sadness, anxiety, sorrow and motherly worry!

It is so comforting knowing that not only is our Father sovereign over every circumstance and change as He orchestrates everything in our lives for good, He knows and cares about every detail and tear that falls in the process!
