Discussion

I listened to a discussion among the community in church one day.  One fellow felt defensive about his solitary state and claimed he was unmarried and childless because he had not yet met the right person.  I have thought about that.  He is correct in one respect.  He has not met the right person and it is likely he never will.

To meet the right person, one must open the mind and heart.  Likewise, to be the right person for someone else the same conditions must be met.  Those of us with closed minds and hearts will never meet the right person or be the right person for anyone.

Two people can be going down the road of life  doing the best they can, being the best they can be and still not be good for each other. It takes more than just wanting and needing and giving to make relationships work.There is no greater gift from God than people we love and memories we share.
