Jeremiah 31:25
King James Version
For I have satiated
the weary soul,
and I have replenished
every sorrowful
soul.

I underestimated the length of my walk today, and found myself on a bench to rest before I could finish my course. It was a nice big bench that left lots of room for a companion on the other end. But as you can see, it was very empty.
Why is that when I am tired or sorrowful that I notice aloneness the most? I've been a single mother for nearly three years now. I never feel lonely when I'm busy, but at the end of a long day when my strength has drained away I find myself focusing on the empty seat. It seems I've learned to draw strength from others during these times. But maybe it's time to put on a different pair of glasses... time to remind myself to see things differently. It's time to remember that I am really never alone!
Very good post!
