My kid is moving to Europe for a year in two days.
There's a banner -- you've all seen it -- that says
There is no life like a life in Christ.
I've looked at the diary. It's very nice. It's not all fire and brimstone or anything; it's a nice regular diary from a nice regular person. I'm not sure what she means here, though. Is it
a) that she's really really happy with the choices she's made
b) that a life without Christ is meaningless
c) that my life is lived with less value than someone who has accepted Christ
or what? I think it's all of them.
I think that means that those who have this point of view have difficulty seeing that others may achieve the same degree or even type of happiness even though they have made other choices. I wonder why there are so many who appear to see it this way.
The truth is, I know what she means. I know just what she means.
It hurts my feelings. Every time I see it, I think, well good for her that she's happy, but she pretty much thinks that a life like mine can only be empty and never be fulfilling unless I see it all her way. And every time I see it, it hurts my feelings, because I don't need to see it her way at all. My way is just fine for me.
I'm just saying, is all.
