i think that a belief in impermanence can give you peace, but not in the sense of looking forward to the next life. Anytime you look forward to the future, you’re not living in the present. And that’s not the way to live, no matter if u believe in Jesus or not

Kathie: I know that, yet I need to hear it again and again. It’s amazing what we set our sites on to give us contentment and fulfillment.

Lora: I hope that wedding day comes soon, then!

this is beautifully said. i definitely know how it feels…although i think it may be MORE lonely for me to go to bed these days, since i’m deeply madly in love with my boyfriend but we won’t be sharing a bed until marriage…somehow that promise of “what’s to come” is both exciting and utterly difficult!

I didn’t get married until I was 31, but something I learned before I did was that having someone doesn’t mean you’ll never be lonely again. Another saying that is true, “the grass on the other side might be greener, but it needs mowed too”….enjoy being single, don’t wish it away or long for something else. Enjoy where you are on the way to where you are going. There are pros and cons to everything and every situation. Please don’t get me wrong, I love my husband, I just want you to know that there are good things about being single too and don’t think you won’t have moments of feeling lonely once you are married.

Oh yes. Maybe that is why I stay up way too late at night. Going to bed is just a reminder that I am going to bed alone.

Sigh, I hear ya. Best wishes for you, and maybe to me too? I’m tired of being alone.

Our preacher told the story of a man who had spent his entire life overseas as a missionary. He was traveling back home by ship and was amazed to hear a band playing as he arrived and crowds cheering. He was shocked and pleased. However, when the ship docked he realized that the president was on board and the greeting was for him.

The missionary asked God “Why? When I come home why am I not greeted with joy like this? I have spent years serving you!”

God whispered to his heart “You aren’t home yet.”

Ronnica, this story gave me goosebumps. My friend, you are right. And we aren’t home yet.
