Bottle of Tears

I saw a can of tears with a 'use by', Not 'better by' date. The date had come And gone, and the can was never opened. In the next aisle, I saw a can of liberated Emotions, and just inches away, a larger can Of repressed emotions. Clearly, the tears were Never shed, and both cans of emotions, the Liberated and repressed were never expressed. Cans are like depositories; their use is temporary. Tears are designed to flow whenever called upon. Emotions inform outsiders what's going on inside. They need conduits, not cans, to release their stories. No, we cannot always reveal the fears behind the tears. Nor can we freely unbox painful emotions with a language. Sometimes, we are fortunate enough to have a true friend. Moreover, God is always there to put our tears in a bottle*. 100822PSCtest, A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE CHOICE *Psalms 56:8

Great way of describing our feelings + in package cans, and we are fortunate enough to have a true friend especially our Lord.

Thank you, Eve. Sometimes our best description is not sufficient. Blessings.
