Even though I have battled depression and sadness most my life, some days are worse than others. Valentine's Day did not help yesterday at all. When someone is struggling with low self-worth and acceptance as I am, to have this holiday roll around can be extremely difficult. Seeing some of the women at my workplace receive flowers from their husbands or boyfriends can be hard to watch and smile and say, "oh how lovey." "He must really love you?" And sure there are those who have been married a long time and their husbands do not even think to send a card to their wives. I am sure that stings terribly as well.
Although I continue to grow in strength with who I am in Christ, it still cuts very deep knowing I really do not have "that someone" to love me.

ReplyDeleteAh sweetie...this reminds me of Candy Grams you used to get in high school. The most popular people get the most. It can be like a popularity contest. Well, what I did was by myself 6 candy grams and everyone thought I was cool. LOL....just thought a good laugh might help cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend was a blessed one.

I think I know how you feel. Valentine's Day sucks. I think it's meant to make people feel bad about themselves. I'm sorry things were so hard yesterday.

ReplyDeletePraying for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Ha Ha. Ninnypoopoo said it best. Hang in there JBR.
ReplyDeleteJBR,
ReplyDeleteYou do have a special someone who loves you more than anything else for He gave up His life just for you! If you were the only person here on earth He still would have given up His throne to come here to die for you! You are dearly loved and very, very precious to Him. No, you cannot see Him right now but He is your knight in shining armour and He will never ever let you down.
The only true love is His love for all other love fails. There are holes in it and it will hurt you for that is human love and we are failures. God, He loves with agape love and this is true, pure never ending love.
Pooh on flowers and chocolate for that is just things!
Praying for you JBR!!

Big hugs, JBR. I heard someone else refer to yesterday as, "Single Awareness," day- so you are not alone in your feelings! I can relate when it comes to Mother's Day, as my mom is no longer with us... Sending you love.
ReplyDelete"...loves you with an everlasting love...."
ReplyDeleteMy Jesus is your gift and it lasts FOREVER AND EVER! the flowers and trees and birds and all the things you love is your valentines gifs fromy My Jeusu to you EVERYDAY!
ReplyDeletewhen he is ready he will send you the man he approves of otherwise you dont need one till then.
It is difficult but your sensitivity to others is so beautiful. Your words touch hearts and that is a great gift to all of us who visit your posts.

Cards fade over time and flowers die but God's Word to you will never fade and His Love for you will never die. I am praying for you, my friend.
