Being single over Christmas,,,,

Solo Femininity has helpful words which she writes as a single facing the holiday season alone: “When you have a hope deferred, the holidays can be a bittersweet time. Unbidden emotions–grief, confusion, self-pity, sadness–can suddenly wash over you without warning. The holiday season can be like a landmark in time–‘wasn’t I here in exactly the same situation last year?’–commemorating the creep of time. That’s the bitter part, but there is also the sweet part if we stand like a sentinel and look for it. The Lord has been faithful to each of us in so many ways, but they are easy to take for granted when our focus is the unfulfilled desire” (HT Girltalk)
