When you are in the south, the older you get and are unmarried, the more tacky comments you get by well-meaning people.
The most frequent one is this...you're a pretty girl, a smart girl, you love God, I cannot understand why you're not married! Then they begin to question me about my love life.
My friends laugh because we all know that's code word for what the *&!# is wrong with you?
It's as if they want to uncover the mystery of your marital status, I always tell them when you figure it out let me know.
So...what's the tackiest comment someone's said to you regarding your marital status?
I think the biggest lie ever told to me is: "It will happen, when you don't want it anymore." Hope deferred is part of God's design BUT to live hopeless is not!
ReplyDeleteAmen. People say that mean well...but I think God wants us to live in faith filled expectation of what we're believing Him to do :)
