Just a thought by coppi

“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Psalms 30:5

“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!”

Psalms 30:11-12 NLT

I looked up tears and following is one of the many blessings tears bring to us:

Tears aren’t just water. The liquid layers that make up tears are a lot more like saliva. There’s a lot swimming around in there, including oily lipids, metabolites, electrolytes, enzymes, and even hormones.  God is a good God, but there are times when I am in the throws of sadness, I wonder where he is.  Last week my family was discussing my oldest sister who is going through many trials with her health and truly is not able to stay in her home.  However, she is insistent that is where she wants to be and does not want to be in a nursing home.  I certainly don’t blame her for that as when I visit nursing homes, I come away totally depressed.  And, if I am truly honest I think I will end up there someday and I would prefer the Lord to take me home to be with him eternally.  However, we do not know what the future holds but we do know who holds the future.  As I have said many times before, do I know the “whys” of life – I don’t.  I don’t understand many things and I ponder how could a good God let those things happen.  I also know there are two forces in this world – one being the devil who is evil and the other is God who is good.  Yes, there are questions but I will leave all my doubts and those questions in the hands of Jesus and trust Him because our God is weaving a pattern that we will not understand ‘until we get home’.
