So today is valentine's day. I have long ago gotten over the shame of being single expecially on days like today. Today this is no different. Yet today I woke up sad... this phenomemon has been increasing daily since Sunday for no apparent reason. I wonder if I am getting sick... the flu has been going around. Later I read a directional statement our church put together for apporval. They list all the staff but me... this is not the first i have been forgetten or ignored at my workplace. I feel lonely, left out, dejected. It brings up the continous feeling of not belonging (by the way the directional statement was about making people feel like they belong at our church - I half smile at the irony). Tonight we have to discuss it. Sigh! So I feel more down than I woke up. I decide the best thing to do is to read some scripture for encouragement. This is what I read...
Ecclesiastes 4:7->
I turned my head and saw yet another wisp of smoke on its way to nothingness: a solitary person, completely alone ... It's better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough! Two in a bed warm each other. Alone, you shiver all night.
It made me laugh. It was completely impractical and unhelpful for me. It could depress a single person on valentine's day but it made me laugh.
