Seasons

Well it turned hot again, but for a few days there it was defnitely fall-ish. Where I occasionally walk, I hear the river rushing, hear the snow geese overhead and see the leaves already beginning to change. I've been single through many falls now, and it never fails to hit me with a good dose of meloncholy. I think the first stirrings of fall, the promise of winter that lies in a sudden gust of wind reminds me that there's no one to share it with, just like last year, or the year before, or...

This isn't a morose, sorrwoful complaint, just an awareness that it would be nice to have someone again. I'm at an age where "issues" are becoming less important. It would just be really nice to have someone to share the little things in life with. Ultimately I know that the future is in His loving hands, but there are moments when my heart is truly grieved to be alone. Thankfully, His grace and love are sufficient. Blessings.

its coming towards christmas summer down under where families gather and may arguments are put aside
it is a time where once again I am reminded of what life has become for me a time of aloneness with no- one to share it with no family and freinds all away for the summer. I work at my summer job taking ever hour I can get to help me to not remember what it means to be alone .
and to help me to focus on Christ Jesus alone.

God is good gracious and kind
amen

God bless you for sharing openly with us, covenantwmn. I'm touched by your post. I understand what you're saying, though I've never been married. It would be so nice to have a true companion to walk with along the road of life, to relish the journey we're on.

I experience the same feelings in both the fall and the spring, covenantwmn! The sense of time going by and I'm still alone ... the desire to share the beauty of the season with someone ... I know exactly what you mean.

So often being single is described as a "season of singleness." But I'm finding that singleness contains its own seasons. There was the "we're all a bunch of young single women having fun together" season. It's only lately that I realize that stage is pretty much past, and most of my friends are busy with their young families, all done having kids before I've even gotten started. I've been feeling at loose ends socially, and have to remind myself that this too is a season. Some day my friends will be empty nesters who will have more time for friendships again, and that will be another season which may be as hard on them as the current one is on me. On the other hand, I might finally be in my potty-training, soccer-mom stage by then ...

Covenantwmn, what you wrote was so touching. God Bless.

I can relate. It makes me sad, too. I think fall is the best time of year to be in a relationship.

Hey, what do you get when you cross a cantaloup with Lassie?











A melon-collie baby!!!

I hear you guys. It's getting close to the holidays and while it's nice to have friends willing to include me in their gatherings. It would be nice to have my own gathering for two.

That's exactly how I feel!
