BIG Bowl Ramen

We went to this place at Bay Avenue to try out this shop we heard so much about.
We were treated to Pork Mayo Ramen, Chawan Mushi, Gyoza, Garlic Rice and other Japanese dishes.
Nothing special other than the BIG BOWL.

The call of loneliness

"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty" - Mother Teresa

Elderly parents who are neglected in their twilight years are not the only victims of this kind of poverty.  Men and women who in their forties or older, who are not married either by choice or due to circumstances, are also stricken by this affliction.

When this people are at work or with their friends, they will be so busy and have no time to think about being lonely.  But when the night falls and everyone returns to their respectively homes, that's when the empty feeling strikes.

Being alone and feeling lonely are two different things.

Loner can understand others' need to be more social but they do not have the insecurities that make them fearful of doing things alone -

Loner derives joy from their solitary pursuits in life - drawing inspiration and energy from quiet, private moments - they are able to entertain themselves and to be self sufficient.

You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man, and that is the most bitter type of loneliness.

Despite the advancement of technology, all of us battle with seasons of loneliness, wondering if anyone knows, understands or cares about the burdens we carry or the struggles we face.  But followers of Jesus have an assurance that brings comfort to our weary hearts.

Jesus said in John 15:15, "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you".

"No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." - Eleanor Roosevelt
