OrangeHoof, please don’t give up on life.
You will find someone. My grandfather remarried after his wife (my grandmother) died. My step-grandmother was a devout Catholic and was 70 when she married my grandfather. It was her first marriage, and he joined her in the Catholic faith.
Just make up a great t-shirt with your awesome tagline...and you are bound to make people laugh (I hope; it probably depends on where you live! i.e., hope you’re not surrounded by libs!)
Go to some conservative gathering with a bunch of those t-shirts, or put the slogan on coffee mugs and sell them at a mall, all with Christmas colors (better hurry!) and who knows?! Clarence might just help you out...... :)
Seriously, everyone... at the loneliest point in my life, I saw “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the first time... I have watched it every year since.
We all have to have faith.
Take care, everyone... Don’t give up!
And please, let us know how it goes, OrangeHoof! :)
You misunderstand. I haven’t given up on life and am socially active to the extent my work schedule allows me to be.
I wrote what I did to point out. 1) I know how painfully lonely singleness can be and 2) I’ve made peace with it. It’s not what I wanted my life to be but I can accept that, through Christ’s grace, it is sufficient and that the next life will be better.
Perhaps there is some lady in my future but there doesn’t have to be and maybe that will be more attractive to someone.
But the more I contemplate the next life to come, the more excited I am to get there. We mourn death, particularly of the young, but I don’t believe Jesus does because He knows the glory waiting ahead - one He has promised to share with us as sons, not as servants.
I’m still firmly attached to this life and serve in various ways but I’m also comforted that what I lack in this life may be completely fulfilled beyond my fondest dreams in the next life. So, who wouldn’t want to eagerly await it?
