"God Counts Every Tear"

I have listened to this song a lot lately and love the words in blue and wanted to share the song with you all.  It is called "God Counts Every Tear,"  and is written by Janice Kapp Perry.


1. He hears the cries of the suff’ring
     Who cannot find relief.
    He sees the tears of the dying
    Who pray for their release.
   He hears the cries of the poor man
     Whose troubles never cease.
     He sees the tears of the rich man
     Who cannot purchase peace

      His hand is over all things
      His love is pure and clear
      His son was slain for all men
     God counts every tear.

2  He hears the cries of the aged
   Who languish all alone
   He sees the tears of the children
   Whose future is unknown
   He hears the pray’rs of the sinner
   Who beg him to forgive.
   He hears the cries of the unborn
   Who wand a chance to live.

3  He hears the cries of the nations
   He feels the pain of war.
   He walks with us through sorrow
   When we can bear no more
   He’s there to heal and bless us
   And he could right all wrongs
   But will remove no struggle
   Designed to make us strong.
      God watches over every one
      He gives us strength to overcome.
     Through all our trials He is near
      God counts every tear.


God is there, and he will help us.  If he can't take away a trial, he can help us through them.

God knows us!

Sometimes it may not feel like it, but through the good and bad, God does know us.  He knows what we are going through.  I promise that through prayer we will be given strength to make it through ALL of our hard times!!

Out of Place

The other day we were at our church and I had to go to the bathroom.  So I went into the bathroom and look what I found on the toliet, chillin'!

 

That is what you are seeing, a frog!! 

Now he does not belong in a toliet or in a bathroom for that matter.  He was a bit out of place.

Throughout life we get the feeling that we do not belong to this world.  We feel a little out of place like this frog.  We sometimes can't figure out why we feel like we don't belong.  That is because, we are only visitors in this world.  We lived with God before we came here, and we are preparing to return to live with God again!   In John 15:19 it states:
"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world..."

"For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors."  (Alma 34:32)

Our goal in this life is to be the best that we can so that we can return to our HOME in Heaven!
