Two Tear Drops
Phil 4:12
Illustration
by Michael P. Green

Two teardrops were floating down the river of life. One teardrop asked the other, “Who are you?”

“I am a teardrop from a girl who loved a man and lost him. But who are you?

The first teardrop replied, “I am a teardrop from the girl who got him.”

Life is like that. We cry over the things we can’t have, but we might cry twice as hard if we had received them. Paul had the right idea when he said, "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.”
