The next day I found the crunched up tissue and was about to chuck it in the garbage. But I suddenly thought, “I can’t throw this away because it holds tears that I believe are sacred to God.” So I put it in a special place to remind me of how much God wants us to care for those living in darkness as well as the poor who are hungry and sick.
