Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that different people celebrate in different ways. Some buy flowers or chocolate or go out to dinner with the one they love. Others "celebrate" by wallowing in self-pity. Most (though not all) of those wallowing in self-pity are single. I thought I'd try and help out by offering a few reasons to avoid being depressed during Valentine's Day this year...
Reason #1- You don't see anyone despairing over the lack of a secretary to appreciate on "Secretary Appreciation Day"...
Reason #2- Statistics show that 100% of married people were single at one point in their lives. (Arranged marriages from birth were treated as outliers.)
Reason #3- Singleness is not a curse, burden or a phase to grow out of. It is simply a part of the place in life God has put you to best work in and through you. Singleness does not define you.
1 Corinthians 8:17a "Nevertheless each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them."
I don't know what you're talking about. My jealousy for secretaries has been a problem for years...
