Tear-Bottles
Psalm 56:8
You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?


There are some very good people who always have their tear-bottle by them, and who always treasure up every little grief and every little disappointment. Whenever you meet them, the first thing you see is the tear-bottle; and you soon see there is more in it than there was last time. Now, of course I am not speaking of those who have indeed great trials, but of those who make a great deal of little ones. I do not want you to get into that gloomy way of living.

(D. Davies.)
