It's a good reminder to be supportive, even if he doesn't actually shed the tears.<br /><br />I'm actually not a big crier. I'm more likely to cry because I'm happy or touched or frustrated than because I'm sad.

Humanly caught for an instant by the reality of DEATH WITHOUT the cross? Thinking what His human body and supernatural soul, heart, and mind must soon endure, facing sin head-on???<br /><br />Thank you for the post.<br />Pattipatti lacyhttp://www.pattilacy.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
