It Is Okay To Cry!!
“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice.”
--Psalm 130: 1
Today we will perform a variety of tasks and many of us will perform our tasks relatively certain there will be peace and calm around us. Today there are thousands of parents who are crying from the depths of their souls because their sons and daughters are on assignments to keep the world peaceful, possibly having to participate in a war that makes less and less sense to the majority. It seems that our souls should be crying forth to the Almighty in behalf of these military personnel and their extended families.
I recall a Sunday not all that long ago, while enjoying a cup of coffee following a church service, a friend was crying. She had a son in the Navy. As we entered into conversation she shared, “I haven’t heard from him since New Year’s Eve. I realized today how much I’ve missed hearing his voice.” She realized she wouldn't be hearing from her son for a while and she could only cry. My heart joins hers in “crying to the Lord.”
Today we will perform a variety of tasks and there will be relative peace and calm. Maybe we can all take some time to feel the deep longings thousands of parents and loved ones are having. May we each take time to “cry to the Lord.”
A prayer for today:
Lord, hear our voices today. Amen.
