Tears

The tears came after visiting with many family members that I only see once a year at Thanksgiving.  A few years ago I made it a very important responsibility to see them at this time every year.  When I was younger, it didn't seem as important; but as I get older; I see the great importance; and I'm so thankful to my Lord, God, that He has also seen this as an important responsibility for me.  And He has made the travels easy, and the weather cooperative.  But gradually, I'm finding myself in tears as I leave each one.  Once a year is becoming too little.  I love these people.  I love them with all my heart and they are such blessings to my life.  So much happens in a year; so much that I miss; but because they are so spread around the country; how to spend more time with them is quite a conundrum.
In tears, I took this conundrum to Him this morning.  His answer was in the Book of Psalms and it said simply "I have heard your suplication".
And at the same time, I heard in my heart that it meant He heard it and therefore was preparing a solution for me.
I will recieve a solution.  It isn't a question in my heart.  It is a settled issue.  And even though I don't know what the solution might be; there is one; and when it is ready - or I am ready - I will know it.
It's as simple as that.  My tears were seen, understood, and considered - and He had compassion.
Thank you.
