My mother was due to have surgery tomorrow, but landed in the hospital - again - this past Sunday. She is still there, trying to get well enough to even have the surgery. Yes, it is a long, uneven road. We can keep our eyes on the Lord, but even then, we just don't know when we will fall at his feet, in tears, a blessed mess. Glad that we could meet via W2W!Linda Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905662146166071518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826988470406323259.post-50691069766161549012016-02-24T07:24:35.588-08:002016-02-24T07:24:35.588-08:00Hi Linda!
What a significant reflection on tears! ...Hi Linda!<br />What a significant reflection on tears! For a long time, they came very hard for me due to certain family of origin connections related to them. I needed to allow the feelings and tears to flow to bring healing to that wound as well. I identify with how you felt when your mother went on a ventilator. I went through that with my dad 21 years ago this month. He had been so healthy and suddenly pneumonia grabbed him and would not let go. He went home to be with the Lord 5 1/2 weeks later and then there were more tears. So glad to be your neighbor today at the Linkup on Woman to Woman.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226770075164231059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826988470406323259.post-39133538847809011692016-02-24T04:58:00.307-08:002016-02-24T04:58:00.307-08:00Thank you so much, Lux!

Back when she was little and couldn't communicate well, she went into a teary tirade over wanting a banana. At first I thought it was ridiculous, but like you, it hit me just how frustrating being hungry and not being able to tell me "I really need this!" was to her. I became a much better listener after that. :-)Linda Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905662146166071518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826988470406323259.post-24438413544634709142016-02-23T12:52:24.916-08:002016-02-23T12:52:24.916-08:00Thank you so much, Dawn.

I understand what it feels like to have a parent in the balance and the cleansing tears that are needed to handle the vastness of what it feels like. <br /><br />In the book, Secret of the Secret Places, by Bob Sorge, he writes that tears are "liquid words" and those words have really stuck with me.

Just last night, after displaying a lot of tears over things that seem silly to me, I went up to her room, and just sat with her and talked for 15 minutes. Almost immediately there was a change in her spirit. I realized after that that she just needed some attention and hugs from me. Thank you for sharing! I said a prayer for the upcoming operation of your mother, that there would be peace and comfort, and that everything would go smoothly.

Tears... I can cry a river at the drop of a hat and still, there are times when they don't come... but need to. Isn't that funny? I am so thankful for that peace that passes all understanding when either of those moments are my reality because when His presence relieves me, the tears of joy and gratitude always come.<br /><br />Praying your dear one makes it through the difficult procedure and you are comforted by His Presence through it all.
