How many tears does it take to decorate a Christmas tree?

There are tears of joy

for love

for friends

for family

There are tears of grief

for lost loved ones

for dreams deferred

for things changing

There are tears of anxiety

what if she…?

what if he…?

what if I…?

There are tears of forgiveness

for hurts released

for damage remembered

for mistakes, errors, and sins

There are tears of frustration

for answers that will not come

for apathy from our brothers and sisters

for busy-ness that unconnects us

There are tears for no reason

that cleanse

that release

that sparkle on the tree

How many tears does it take to decorate a Christmas tree?

Buckets and buckets

Made brilliant in God’s love through the Christ Child

Filled with prisms of grace in the hope of Jesus Christ.
