Singleness – Season for Sadness or Celebration

I am going to scream if I see another engagement ring!!

Have you ever had this thought? If yes, then you are struggling with being single, alone or without that special someone you can share the rest of your life with. You may think, “what’s wrong with me?” or “why is everyone getting married but me?” It is a slap in the face.

This is a normal feeling – a “short term” feeling.

Singleness is a gift from God. Embrace it! Enjoy it! Experience it!

Get up and get out! YOU are responsible for your own happiness. This is a chance to explore new things – join a social club, volunteer your time helping those in need, take a dance class, try a new recipe, or start journaling. The goal here is to turn your singleness into a season of celebration not sadness.

It is important to understand that this is your season (which is temporary). Seasons do change. Remember, singleness is a gift from God. Embrace it! Enjoy it! Experience it!

Enjoy your gift of Singleness!

Volunteer and be the Experience

A volunteer is a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task (Webster 2019)

As a single parent, one most likely feels as though their existence is a sequence of volunteer adventures. These day-to-day experiences ensure our children become good stewards and productive citizens.

Parents, it is our responsibility to ensure this happens.


Reasons to volunteer

  1. Be the example

  2. Build self confidence

  3. Gain new skills

  4. Regain an appreciation for life

  5. Make new friends and network


I encourage you to sit down with your child(ren), choose a volunteer project, and enjoy the experience together. It allows them to see and feel the value in “giving back.”
