Why do banks charge you an "insufficient funds" charge on money
they already know you don't have? Why do banks leave the doors
to the vault open all day and then chain down a 10 cent pen?

We went to a large attraction that was attended by many foreign
folks. A large percentage of them had small children. I observed
something that I hadn't thought of before -- crying sounds the same
in any language. Tears look the same on any color face. Tears and
crying are a universal language.

Perhaps, lately, you have shed some tears -- maybe because of a
loved one -- maybe because your life has developed a snag.
Whatever the cause -- let them flow. A good cry helps to rinse
away the pain.

In Psalm 42:3 (niv), we read, "My tears have been my food day and
night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?'"
That's a pretty desperate cry, but later in that same chapter the
writer twice says (vss. 5 & 11), "Why are you downcast, O my
soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I
will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God."

In spite of your tears, determine to continue to put your hope in
God and praise Him for being there when you need Him.
