You’re NOT Alone

Everyday Lonely

​I was lonely. God knew. But I also know 1 Peter 5:7 too where Jesus says; “Give Me all your cares. I care for you.” 

It was my third son, of the four, who helped take me away from my party with “Pity.”  Our teenage son Joey let me have a movie date with him and I picked “Pride and Prejudice.”  I know.  Halfway through the movie I asked; “Joe, will it always be this way?”  What mom?  I was referring to a bruise on my face that just wasn’t disappearing like I wanted but deeper down I was asking; “Would this season of wait and lonely weirdness ever leave?”  Joey replied; “Mom it will always be that way. It will never change.”  And then he grinned in his sweet Joe way and said; “Mom, you’re being silly.  Of course it’s gonna be fine. It’s just a bruise. Why ask?” Because I need to hear out loud there’s hope, the belief that things will get better. So I’m talking to you too. It will get better.   There’s hope…everyday.
