Today a friend asked me to come over and help her understand how she can better help a friend of hers that is struggling with being single. Wow!
We talked a little a few days ago, and she showed so much concern, empathy, love, and genuine interest in what I had to say about my experiences as a single woman. She recognized that my marital status doesn’t define who I am, but it does affect every area of my life. And she accepted me as a valuable friend and a healthy and complete individual.
She took the time today to invite me into her life and to glean important truth, so that she can be a better friend. Her love for me and for her friend that is struggling is priceless.
What did I learn from her? I am valued. I am not valued even though I am single. I am valued because I am me. I am even valued because of my singleness. Most of all, I am valued because God made me valuable.

You are valuable indeed....... It's great to know your marital status does not define who you are!!! As a blissfully single woman, I enjoyed the post very much :-)
