Yesterday I was at the YMCA with my friend. We decided we both needed a break from the frustrating and stressful things of life. So we went straight to the sauna room! It was really nice to just be sitting there soaking up the heat and then a few people came in and joined us. One man - a friend who is a married born again christian and 2 women both divorced single moms and in their 30s. The women walked in when my friend was just telling us how he and his wife overcame a divorce that had him frazzled for about 2 years. At the tail end of this conversation -right when these 2 ladies entered the room...he began to tell us how they realized that they needed each other. He was saying that a man needs a woman and a woman needs a man.
The 2 women that walked in heard this and said..."and you are still single right?"
They obviously did not agree with his statement. The subject changed and after he left the room the girls commented that what he was saying was a bunch of sexist B.S. I needed some water so I exited the room and found him outside the door getting water... we both started laughing. Perspective is so different when you look at things with a Godly perspective.
I told him...you have to realize that you were just talking to a bunch of single divorced women, and it is really hard to find a good man. I told him... "your wife is blessed to find you!"
Is it all in the perspective?? What about the ones out there who don't have the best? It seems that God enables us to do what we have to do somehow... people have differences, different sets of circumstances...but it is just perspective. God's way is always best.
