We know that Jesus wept. We know that Peter wept. So, real men cry, and I know we ladies do.

What touches your heart to the point of tears?
 
Three things.

1. The first tv show I cried to was Punky Brewster when Brandon almost died.

2. This video gets me every time.

3. The obvious stuff. Death.

Well believe it or not I do have a serious side.........About a year after my grandpa, died around 2003, I went up to my grannies, she had a neighbor that wanted to buy my grandpa's boat it was a 1970 Aristocraft. So I went up there and took the boat and the neighbor to the lake by my grannies house and put her in the water. Now this boat hadn't been out in a while and I was wondering if it would even fire, the last time me and gramps had her out she had a little trouble staying running....I turned the key and she busted off and purred like a kitten....I backed her away from the dock and idled out past the no wake buoys. I was worried it would cut out or run rough so I eased into the throttle....she never missed a lick...that ole boat just stood up on the water and planed out like she had been built the day before. I just let her go, the water was like glass and the ole girl was just gliding across the water....the memories flashed back as me and the ole Aristocraft skimmed across that lake we traveled all the way to the dam and I turned around and headed back...even thought the neighbor man was sitting next too me I was alone except for the many many memories I had made with gramps in that ole boat....well I got it back to the dock and loaded the boat up and took it back to grannies. As I was driving home I was heading west of Mannford and I just teared up. The girl I was dating at the time was riding in the pick up with me and never new I was crying......(thats probably why she got a coffee table instead of a engagement ring for christmas!!) A little side not to the story, my granny called me about a week after that when the neighbor tried to take the boat out to the lake it got cracked in the hull..........so the last time the boat was ever on the water was that day me and the ole girl took a trip down memory lane...

This post sure did make me mist up. There are certain people on here, that when they speak from the heart you truly know it. I loved your honesty, and sincerity, and the poetry of your description.
I honestly think I will go to bed tonight reflecting on your story. :) Absolutely lovely.

Blessings
 
I can rarely pray without crying, so it's not something I do aloud much. It's so very personal.

Having spent so many years in law enforcement, I can usually compartmentalize for awhile, but sooner or later, it comes out. It has to. Inner hurts don't usually heal unless they're lanced and no one has a better scalpel than Jesus.

Music moves me, children move me, the elderly...the poor...the underdog... art...rain...wind...

As I posted on Facebook today, my family still teases me about crying over an Andy Griffith rerun where Opie shot a bird and killed it without meaning to.
YouTube - The Andy Griffith Show (S4) - "Opie the Birdman" pt.1/3
 
Random things.
This morning, I was reading 1 Tim 1...read thru verse 10, turned the page, read 11- 15, then it hit me. Looked back at v 11.

11in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

ended up facedown on the floor weeping at our Glorious and Blessed God.



My aunt works with a dog foster/rescue organization called Take My Paw. (Home Page) A couple of months back, a foster's house burned down, and quite a few puppies were lost. Three survived and ended up with a lot of scarring. They're fine now...Well, I happened to be around to see the pups when they were first put up for adoption... There were lots of people interested, but...one mentally handicapped young woman came in. She freaked when she saw the scarred pups, and started crying over their ordeal...then one pup licked her cheek and it was all smiles through her tears. Yeah...I was misty then too.

Thats a really beautiful and sad story. :( You are a very gifted writer too. I hope the old boat is resting peacefully somewhere. Can it be fixed? Sorry if thats a dumb question. Ii don't know anything about boats.

You know whats wierd? I use the dots.....a lot when I write too.

Ashlaa got me thinking with undercover boss show. I've cried watching Secret Millionaire and I hate to admit this but Cried for BOTH girls that Bachelor Brad turnedd down in1st time he was on show and I know I felt real bad for girl this batch season who was willing to go in a shark cage with Brad and he didn't't pick her.
 
Onions, and I plucked a nose hair once.... that get the tears going, but seriously

Jesus broke my heart over the plight of prostitutes here in town. Especially for one named Wanda.. I had to run out of church and give her a hug!!
 
Love makes me cry.. Cus its powerful.. God is luv.. When I feel God's touch it makes me cry happy tears..
I cry when someone really close leaves me and goes to the place where God wants them to be..
When I see someone caring for someone even though they have nothing it makes me cry..
When I listen to good music it makes me cry too..
A few books made me cry too. I guess Imma softie.. lol
 
I am trying to put together my answer to this question because this is something I feel very deeply about (the things that make me cry).
 
I haven't cried in my adult life at all, until recently.
The first time I wept uncontrollable was when my fiance was leaving me. I couldn't stop. 5 months on and she still causes me to cry when she says something that reminds me of it all. Or when I see something about weddings or children. Babies in particular cause tears now as I expected to be a father this year.
I do not feel that he has told me to let her go, even tho she has told me that. So I cry before God trying to understand and pleading with Him to bring me through this, whichever way it goes. I have my own desires in it, but only His will will be done.
 
My dad, big time.. Everytime I hear his voice on the phone Im always teary eyed... Papa's girl...
