I just got home from church. Perhaps I'm on a spiritual high, I'd like to share these wonderful feelings with my friends here. It's a very conservative Baptist church, they also run the school that Jack goes to. I'm the ONLY single parent in the entire church of 500. I have had feelings of being the "fly in the buttermilk" for quite some time. Tonight, the 2nd grade teacher, who's boy is in class with Jack, asked me for my phone number so we can get together for a playdate. She extended a hand of friendship to me tonight. She made me feel like I belong, and that I have friends. She's married with three children, and has the life that we here on SPO don't. She knows I'm a never-married mother, a single parent. Instead of calling me a $lut, or a welfare monger, or casting a stereotypical image of a single mom, she looked beyond it all. She saw me. I hope I can grow enough spiritually to be as good a person as her. To be as accepting, and kind to others as she is. Today was a good day for me, and I look forward to church on sunday. It's my favorite day of the week. My heart is so happy right now. I hope she calls. |

hey mn how is your playdate shindig going? i goto a church playdate thing and have started making an all out effort to have my son involved with other kids that go to churhc. It stinks right now though because i work the shifts i do and can't make it to sunday services . I am checking out the services available on wednesday nights though but will probably need childcare. any ideas to keep the word strong? Happy easter by the way to everyone and lets celebrate! Its gods day! Or rather his sons., |

Sounds like a blessing.  It was hard for us to find a church where you don't feel looked down upon or outcast. We found one last year an deveryone there has been wonderful there are only few other single parents, but everyone makes you feel welcome and cared about. I was working Sundays for while and several people i hardly knew took the time to call me and check to see if we were ok. I hope it goes well, it sounds like you could use some friends at youir church What part of MN are you in? Our pastor left a few months ago to join a church in Eden Prarie, he is an amazing pastor. God bless, have a great week erica |
