I feel so alone

Do you ever find yourself sitting down and feeling empty? Or feeling like something is wrong inside of you but you don't know what it is?

There are times that I sit at my computer and ponder what my kids must be going through. Those thoughts often grow into thinking about what life would be like without them. Oh how I would hate to experience life again without my kids. Not a day goes by that I don't wish that time would slow down so that I could keep them a little longer.

But alas, they are growing up, and maybe what I feel inside is a sense of loss. It is not that I am actually losing them, but I am losing a certain part of our relationship. A day is coming when I will not see them everyday. A time is coming when I will have to phone them to make an appointment to see them. That is what I am not looking forward too. Thankfully there is more to the story.

I know that my relationship with my children is growing and evolving into something so much deeper than what we have ever had before. The scheduled time that we will have together will be worth putting my all into.

And then one day they will have children, and I will have grandchildren. My kids will learn at that moment just how much I love them. And that is when they will truly begin to see how much God loves them.

So maybe I am not alone. Maybe I am simply mourning the end of one phase of our relationship as I look forward to the next phase.

Loneliness can come for many reasons, but the best way to resolve that is to ask God for a renewal and a filling.

Don't walk alone. He is reaching out His hand to you. Ask Jesus to nurture you.
