Praise God from Whom all my tears flow....

Wow. Is it just me...or has anyone else found themselves fighting back tears while in church? And I don't mean at those given moments such as at a funeral or at a wedding...but just an average ol' Sunday at church. This morning, i'm sitting in the pew listening to the choir and other special music and then found my lip start quivering and my chest swell. There is something so powerful in the moments people get up and rejoice in the Lord...simply by singing. Every word, every note, every phrase...every mouth....lifted up in happiness and gratitude for our Savior. I can't describe the feeling that was swarming around my heart this morning...and I must admit this isn't the first time either. It was a good feeling though...and as I set back in my pew secretly wiping my eyes....I looked around and considered myself truly lucky to be apart of something so wonderful. If you haven't had this type of experience....next time you are in church (if you are church-going folk)...I ask you to sit back, listen to the words, listen to the voices...take it all in and put meaning to it...and you too might find yourself wiping away a tear.

I have had this experience for sure. I think the older I have gotten the tears come alittle more easy. enjoy reading your blog.

thanks Jennifer! Although my mother has always been an easy target for tears...I've witnessed my rock-solid father handing out more and more tears the older he gets. I think I'm following in his footsteps...for they are coming to me easier and easier with every year as well. Glad you stopped by...come back and visit me again!
