Round again

[KeilCoppes]

Well, it's come 'round again - now my younger brother is getting married. It's cycled through 3 of four children in the family now.

I must have grown some, though - unlike the last sibling, this time when it came I started with being happy for them rather than simply struggling for myself. Yes, he can be taught!

Well, look at the bright side - at least you're taking it in stride = character growth.

Plus, this means an extra gift for you at Christmas.

It is indeed a gift to see the growth. I realized this year that the happiness of others in relationships has nothing to do with God's particular providence to me - that's His own special blessing come day by day. And yes, God delaying in this is a blessing, even if I don't always understand it. Being with Him is the greatest of blessings. Though I'd be elated to have more, that's icing on the cake of God's greatest blessing.

Ha - I saw your thread title and didn't know if "Round again" meant "I'm back after being away" or "I've gained back the weight I've lost." Anyway, good to see you here again.

Be strong Brother. My Prayers are with you.

ROFL - That had me laughing out loud and grinning ear to ear - I've never even resembled round, having been the lean man most of my life! For me to be round, I'd have to be smuggling basketballs.... :^)

I have been away a while, though. Thanks for giving me that smile - it's a good one.

Your quote beats my old one - years ago I used to wonder about the last of those 7 clean animals they took onto the ark.... Everybody else gets off the ark 2x2, while the last guy looks around, makes sure they get off safely and that the ark is ready to be put away. As he finishes sweeping up, Noah calls - "Hey you, get over here, we need you!" Glad to help after spending a couple of months watching his compatriots moon over one another and without much to do, he trots over to Noah. Sure 'nough, sacrifice time - go figure, everyone else is occupied! :^)

All in all, though, much better never married than badly married! Praise the Lord for that!

Very true words at that.
