Today is National “Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk” Day, so Lisa and Rabia decided to have Tuesday Ten be all about things that make us cry.
10. Onions. It’s true. Whenever I chop onions, I cry like crazy. It’s not just an old wives tale but a real problem.
9. People complaining about the weather. I know, I’m going to get in trouble for this one. Let me give you a little preschool lesson. What month is it? That’s right, it’s February. What season is it? Winter. Where do we live? Northern Illinois. We always have cold and snowy weather in February, and the last time it was unseasonably warm in March, the apple orchards got confused and we had a terrible local crop of apples. That made me cry, too.
8. Country music: See the following.
7. Kip Moore – “Hey Pretty Girl”
Hey pretty girl, when I see the light
And it’s my time to go,
I’m gonna thank the Lord for a real good life
A Pretty little girl and a beautiful wife.
6. Tim McGraw – “Don’t Take the Girl”
Take the very breath you gave me,
Take the heart from my chest.
I’ll gladly take her place if you’ll let me,
Make this my last request,
Take me out of this world,
God, please don’t take the girl.
5. Faith Hill – “My Wild Frontier”
Then one Calgary morning
Still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
And with one breath said I’m taking him back
To his Father in Heaven.
4. Hymns my mother sang. When we sing them in church, I can still hear my mother’s voice, singing as clear as a bell. And that makes me cry.
3. Watership Down, by Richard Adams. That last sentence kills me every time I read it.
2. Baptisms. Every time a baby is baptized at church, I tear up, and think about when my own two babies became children of God.
1. The Easter Story. The promise of eternal life and meeting God in heaven, along with my loved ones, makes me cry with joy.
Tuesday Ten is hosted by Lisa from The Golden Spoons and Rabia from The Liebers. Visit their blogs for more Tuesday Ten!
What makes you cry?
Hachi, the film with Richard Gere. I cried like never before over a film (and I cry easily).
A good choir with lots and lots of voices and a strong piece of music for them.
I get choked up quite easily, can even cry over the smurfs!

Oh, a good choir gets me every time! I cry pretty easily, too, and didn’t even write about everything because I didn’t want to cry!

Ave Maria, still puts tears in my eyes, as this was my grandmother’s favorite church hymn. She even asked me to have it played at our wedding if we could. And Michael Buble does a beautiful cover of this, which gets me every time, so totally can relate to that one. And sorry, I am that person that complains about the cold and snow. Just can’t help it and am always cold to begin with so truly not a fan of this time of year 🙂
That’s okay if you don’t like winter; my rant was brought about by a stranger complaining to me for the whole time I was waiting in line for donuts on Sunday, and then the lady who sat next to me at church complained until the service started. I’m truly getting tired of it!

I am glad I’m not the only one breaking down at church on a regular basis!! And those country songs get me too.

Country songs have always been tear jerkers!

There is a pray for healing that is sung at Shabbat services every week – I’m choked up by the second line. And Watership Down – I haven’t thought about that book in years. It was one of my favorites when I was growing up.

I haven’t read it for a while, but it’s one of my all time favorite books!

Country music totally makes me cry, too! That Tim McGraw, please, I can’t even. And I could not agree with you more about the people talking about the weather. It drives me INSANE!!-Ashley

I love Tim McGraw! And I’m so glad I’m not the only one who is going nuts with all the weather talk!
Ginny Marie recently posted…Ten Things That Make Me Cry
Songs we sing at church! How did I forget to put that on my list? And I also love the country songs that you included – though I don’t know the one by Faith Hill so will have to look it up and have a listen and most likely a good cry. 😀 I loved your list!
Marcia @ Blogitudes recently posted…Tuesday Ten – Things That Make Me Cry
I just love the sound of Faith Hill’s voice. You should definitely look it up! (I was lazy and should have embedded the video on my blog.)

Here’s a link to the Faith Hill song: http://youtu.be/K2cNiBdFYAY
Enjoy!

I could list all the things that make me cry, but you can read my post about it if you want!
And the winter one is cracking me up. People seem really bewildered that winter is still here. In early February. In New England, where it’s often snowy until May. So yeah!

Ha! Exactly! I love snow, too. 🙂
Ginny Marie recently posted…Ten Things That Make Me Cry
Right with you on those country songs! Tears every time.
And Hallmark commercials…
Oh wow there are few there that get me. Your number 1 – Jesus of Nazareth. I watch that movie and it gets me every time!

I firmly believe that when you are at the right place for your spirit, you will cry. There is healing in tears. Great list!

Oh man, number 9 made me laugh… I feel *exactly* the same way. If you live in a winter state, don’t start complaining when it’s winter and it’s snowing! Drives me batty! Love the list. 🙂

Oh, so many songs make me cry – country songs are pretty good at that.
I might be one of the people who complains about the weather – but only in the winter because I love the heat (and I did not choose to live in KS!!!).
kim recently posted…Off my Game a Bit but Totally Nailed my Step Goal!!!
Oo yup, those songs would make me tear up as well. *Sniffles*
Amber recently posted…Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday!
I LOVE Hey Pretty Girl!! And Don’t take the girl. I love country music, but it does make me cry! If you are really int he mood for a tearjerker, listen to “The Little Girl” by John Michael Montgomery. It’s old and I haven’t heard it in a long time, but I blubber like a baby every single time!
Lisa @ The Golden Spoons recently posted…Things That Make Me Cry – Tuesday Ten Linkup
I remember this song! It’s a good one! (You can’t go wrong with John Michael!)
Ginny Marie recently posted…Ten Things That Make Me Cry
Baptisms make me cry, too! Both baby and adult baptisms make me cry. It’s a beautiful thing!

My husband once said that I cry at the opening of a door. I don’t think I could keep the list to just 10.
Miriam Gomberg recently posted…a dash of springtime
Love your list! I never would have thought about putting music on a list like that, but I’d have to say it would be necessary.

Well isn’t this interesting. I didn’t think my first posting went through. Hmm.
Jenny recently posted…What We’re Reading…
It did go through! 🙂

Ok, I will stop whining about the weather. But because the kids got Thurs and Fri off, we do have a 6 day weekend! I cry over the news, those sad animal commercials (but I can’t go to a shelter either…we have 7 pets because I can’t say no), and anytime I think about family members and friends who are dealing with cancer. I cry a lot.

I am with you on number 9. It is still WINTER people. If the weather was like this in April, then we would have a good beef. Love this post!
