Are You Lonely?

[@robinleclerc5663]

hi pastor julie....my name is robin.....i so very much enjoyed your sermon today....i have been home with covid and watched on youtube the last 2 weeks...i guess i was most surprised that YOU would admit to being lonely....i think we all figure that you are loved by all of us and have more people than we could imagine that are available to you....i have always been an introvert and struggle with meeting new people...i love my port st lucie church family but really dont know anyone there....but i want you to know that i would pick you up at the airport anytime...i know u dont know me but i have had those same feelings...no one to take me to the drs office when i am sick....no one to call for a ride if my cars being repaired...etc....alot of my longtime friends have passed away or moved away...i did take the first part of the journey class but didnt attend the second part...BUT....i am going to fix that....i will attend the next 2nd part of the journey and sign up for a group as u suggested...i hope to meet u one day when u r at the psl campus....one of the things that i loved about christ fellowship was you and pastor todd and how down to earth and relatable you seem to be...thanks again for todays message...god bless

Pastor Julie, May you please explain the birthdays. January through August standing up?

[@ChristFellowship.Church]

That is a sample size of the population who report being lonely.

She is just showing the percentage of people. Nothing to do with birthdays

Hi Pastor Julie, I’m a 68 year old woman, I work full time at a dead end job, I’m around the public everyday, people are very rude and annoying, I come home and find peace in my loneliness, I have been alone since 2009. I am now contemplating retirement, that means l will lose half my income and im far from being financially secure. I’m going to be a first time grandma in oct/nov but my daughter is not speaking to me, she lives in California, my son is in Europe with his fiancé, he stopped calling me months ago. I feel very sad, people keep telling me this is normal, that most people my age go through this. I pray a lot but nothing changes. I have no friends, my sisters live out of state, one sister lives close by and we do spend sometime together but there isn’t much to do in this hot and humid weather. I used to belong to a Bible group but it dissolved years ago and it has been impossible to find another group that makes me feel like I belong. I feel really lost and grumpy, as you say there is no one I can reach out to in a time of need, my dog is 17 years old and I’m terrified at the idea of losing him. I pray a lot, I know I have Jesus living in my heart, I talk to him all the time, but the fear of abandonment and betrayal does not allow me to get close to anybody. I have a lump in my throat all the time, and no , I’m not feeling sorry for myself, I’m just tired of dealing with life by myself.

What is the months you were born has to do with being lonely? Why ask people to stand if their birthday is from _ to from? don't get it????

[@ChristFellowship.Church]

It is representative of the percent of people who report being lonely.

[@lauralinkous1642]

I still cant understand what the birthday months have to do with this???????????????????????????

[@goldie4245]
