Today, I was grumpy. I don't know why. After ruling out all the normal reasons I'm grumpy, I just decided maybe I'm tired of the monotony of my life at this point in time. That's for another blog. But, after work, I got to walk home listening to the birds sing (something I really love). Then, I got to drive on beautiful, windy, back roads for a good long drive, smelling the orange trees and admiring the luscious green that is outside the city all the while praising the Creator for who He is and all He's done. I also was blessed to buy healthy food that most people around the world can't afford. While completing my loop of driving to get back home, I thanked Him for allowing me the privilege of being single right now. I realized that I thoroughly enjoy being single. If I had been married or dating someone, I wouldn't have had the freedom to pick up and go after work for a long drive, not to get home till 8. I didn't have to be home to cook anyone dinner or pick anyone up or take anyone anywhere. One of the last songs that played on the radio in my drive was this one, which reminded me one of the reasons why I'm single right now...to share the good news with the lost on the other side of the world. So, Abba, thanks for letting me be single right now.
Oh, I forgot to mention the blessing that my small group ladies have been to me today!!! Thanks, girls! Love you all :)
ReplyDelete:o) I agree, though I love being married and having the babies I DO NOT like cooking dinner... ha! But really, I think Paul was on to something when he said if you don't have to get married... don't. Its a lot easier to Prioritize when you only have one priority. I wouldn't trade my family for the world, but being single does have it's advantages.
