Our culture tends to promote marriage as the norm even with the high divorce rate. I have always felt weird on these kind of days because I don't "fit" into the norm.

As you said, your heart is full of joy for your friends – similar to my feelings when I observe others doing ministry I prepared to do – yet everyone lives with a degree of disappointment and ambiguity in at least one area of their life. Recently interim pastor counseled me via poetry from Rainer Maria Rilke to "live the questions." Sounds like what both of us already have been doing!

Today I was remembering a conversation I had a while ago at work. A lady had phoned about something completely different and suddenly out of the blue she said, "I got married last year for the first time, and I'm 64!" She went on to talk about how wonderful her husband is and how happy they are. It was strange as we'd been talking about something else entirely but it reminded me that God has different plans for each of us but they are good, and that we need to trust in his timing.Lesleyhttp://lifeinthespaciousplace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878984.post-83650389243165152612017-02-14T13:38:27.788-06:002017-02-14T13:38:27.788-06:00So glad I stopped by from #RaRaLinkup where we'...So glad I stopped by from #RaRaLinkup where we're neighbors today. And can I say, friend, V-Day is over-rated? So beautiful to read about your focus on this: "...in God's eyes, I am good enough. I am worthy.
