What an inspiring post, Gail!!! I am finally getting it, just exactly what you shared here . . . and I don’t dread Valentine’s Day anymore. After being a single mom for so many years, I’m using my time alone to do what I enjoy, try new things, and get back in touch with that woman God made me. Now I see Valentine’s Day as a day for celebrating my loved ones and God’s love toward me. Your encouraging words to single moms are RIGHT ON TARGET!
Thanks, Nicole. It’s good to hear from you and especially good to hear how well you are doing.
