(This photo of gray skies over water just appealed to me today; it was taken at our 2009 Broken Bow Reunion)My heart feels broken for the Japanese people who are suffering from the terrible earthquake and tsunami last week....... I keep thinking of the little children and the elderly; both age groups are so vulnerable. And so I have been turning my worries and sadness into prayer. All of this has brought an old song to my mind today.
"Tears Are a Language God Understands" by Gorden Jensen
Often you wonder why, tears come into your eyes
And burdens seem to be, so much more than you can stand
But God is standing near, He sees your falling tears
And tears are a language, God understands
God sees the tears of a brokenhearted Soul
He sees your tears, and hears them when they fall
God weeps along with man, and He takes him by the hand
Tears are a language God understands
When grief has left you low, it causes tears to fall
When things have not turned out, the way that you had planned
But God won't forget you, His promises are true
And tears are a language God understands
May God Help, Heal, and Strengthen the dear people of Japan.....
