Valentine's Day is almost here and for those who are single this time of the year can be painful and difficult.  Valentine’s Day often brings to mind images of happy couples exchanging gifts & a date out on the town, enjoying dinner by candlelight.  If you aren’t in a romantic relationship, Valentine's Day can feel like a slap in the face.  It may seem as if everyone is married or has a significant other except you. 

Today my guest, Merritt Onsa and I discuss why this time of year can be painful if you are single and what we can do to show our single friends that they are loved and they matter.
Merritt married later in life at the age of 39.  She shares the struggles she experienced with being single much later than she expected and gives some practical ways we can love our single friends.

If you are a single friend listening to this I want to remind and encourage you that if God has placed the desire in your heart to be married, continue to seek Him in asking for that.  Remember that God's timeline and our timeline rarely line up but that we can trust that His perfect timing is the best. Know that your worth and value is in Jesus alone and no human being can fill the void that only Jesus can fill.  To my married friends please take this time and look for ways your can be intentional in your everyday to show your single friends the value and importance that they bring to your life.  I pray this episode leaves you encouraged and loved.
