TEARS

Frederick Buechner is one of my favorite writers. I may have published these words of his before, but for some reason today I feel the need to send them out again.

Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention.

They are not only telling you something about the secret of who you are, but more often than not God is speaking to you through them of the mystery of where you have come from and is summoning you to where, if your soul is to be saved, you should go next.
