I'm over 50 but not over the hill, and several years ago, I met a very friendly Asian lady at a job-prep meeting. She inspired me with her sincere determination to find employment, and I sensed right away a feeling of mutual attraction and kindred souls.
She seemed drawn to me and asked, "Why aren't you married?". I said, I guess I've always been too poor and often depressed.
She said the words that touched my heart,:. "You don't need to be rich to get married.".
I didn't realize she was asking me out and hinting we could share expenses and an apartment. As usual, I was dazed and confused like a deer in the headlights, and as we rode the elevator to the exit, I watched her walk away, hesitant to call out to her across the courtyard, and couldn't think of what to say, thinking we would meet at another meeting. But, she was finished with the program, and I never saw her again. This still makes me teary some 8 years later, and I still miss her. And don't understand how someone can reach your heart in such a short time, and you never forget them. Love is a mystery.
I still love her, and I only knew her for an hour. And let another beautiful soul pass my by, because I was stressed out and my mind was on employment, when God had sent an angel my way.
It's a lesson of life to keep people as a priority, over stressing over survival.
Jesus said, "consider the birds...God provides for them." (paraphrase).
