Just A Thought

There are days. Days when you come home to an empty house. Days you make dinner for one. Days you just want someone there. Ugh, I dislike those days. Back in the day I sang along with Air Supply, "Even the nights are better, now that we're here together...even the days are brighter, when someone you love's beside ya." Ha, I sang along to that song long before I even had my first boyfriend. It doesn't take one very long after being married to realize it's not all a bed of roses that the songs and movies make it out to be. Even married, my nights weren't always better, nor days always brighter. We all have those days whether single or married. So when I have one of those days, I realize the answer lies in how I think. If I think, "woe is me, I am so lonely, everyone else is happy with their husband/boyfriend while I sit here by myself", then I will have a crummy day. If I think, "yes I am feeling a bit lonely today, but that is not how I feel everyday, it is just a moment that I know will pass," then the moment becomes more bearable. I have been learning that the enemy uses these feelings to his advantage when we let him, and I'm done letting him. I will not believe his lies anymore. My Heavenly Father has promised to never leave me or forsake me. That is what I will choose to believe.
