Maybe this is just a “girl thing”, but I know there are certain things – books, movies, songs – that are sure to elicit a tear or two, no matter how many times I see/hear/read them. Even when I know what is going to happen in the story, whether it’s good or sad, there are sometimes I just can’t help but cry. In fact, I think I secretly look forward to it, because when this happens it always feels so satisfying, like some great emotional release.
Some things that get me every time?
- Song: “When the Saints” by Sara Groves
- Books: “Rilla of Ingleside” by L.M. Montgomery; pretty much the entire “Zion Covenant” series by Thoene
- Movie: “Little Women” (not so much when Beth dies, but more the Amy-almost-drowns-“I-could-never-love-anyone-as-much-as-I-love-my-sisters” scene)
What about you? What gives you that tingly, prickly feeling in your eyes every time?

Jen - Basically anything. : )
Joe - despite my Bride's perpetual insistance of my being "emotionally backed-up", I cried through some of our children's health struggles, and more recently, through scenes of the movie, "Courageous".
Tears - "They blotch the face, but they scour the heart". The Message
