Wonderfully Made

     Sometimes the tears fall for no apparent reason.  You may just be sitting alone in your favorite chair and not consciously thinking of anything particular, but then the tears begin to roll down your face.  You may not consider yourself an emotional person, especially if you are a man, but it can happen to any of us.

     There are times when you will recall a moment in your life, perhaps from many years ago, and the emotions begin to swell up within your eyes and you can’t hold them back.  It may be an embarrassing moment if this happens when you are in front of your friends or some very important event.  But remember we are all human.  There are things that have affected us in many different ways.  We cannot judge another in terms that may only fit our circumstances.

     Think for a moment about all the things that have happened to you.  There is no other person on the face of this earth that has had those very same experiences.  Not even your siblings have endured all the same things that you have gone through.

     Now as you ponder some of those moments you will find that many will bring a smile to your face.  You will recall times and people who you have thought about for years.  But those memories are yours to treasure forever.  You will also recall times when things were very tough and you felt that they were next to impossible to endure, even that they would continue for all times without end.

     However, you survived those times and here you are at the present situation of your life.  It is still possible to look back at these times and feel the hurt, the anxiety, and the fear that those times brought upon your life.  You can also relive the joyous moments in your life as well.  You can do this over and over.

     What a wonderful ability we have when you are able to do this. Although we are imperfect because we are only human, we are so wonderfully made!
