There is nothing like a good cry (a.k.a. massive meltdown) to cleanse the heart. And the tear ducts.
Here's what I love, though. Amid all the crud that led to the meltdown, I remembered the verse that says "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." And for that, I'm thankful.

Despite years of attempted education, Jonathan simply can't understand the value of a good cry. Guess it's a girl thing! ;)
Enjoy the miracle of a new day, Miss B.

May that joyous perspective be yours... All day long!
Julie - Well despite his lack of understanding (which I shall pray about for both of you) I do have to say I'm impressed with his compassion in such a situation. I still remember that sordid Thanksgiving weekend a few years back when I had a nasty meltdown and he just sat there and listened to me babble and kept refilling my coffee cup. For not understanding the value, he does empathize well. You have married a keeper. :)
Chris - I love that quote. I should focus on it and perhaps these "light and momentary trials" (which feel neither light nor momentary right now) will become what they are!
Bekah:
I find the following quote rather strengthening:
"There is nothing more whole than a broken heart".
-Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Kotzk
Everything OK Bekah??
Tsofah - OOH! I like that quote a lot! I'm a quote junkie, so I'll have to put it in my collection.
Phats - I think so...I'll email you. :)
