Looking out across the field the other day, my gaze fell on one of our cows resting all alone away from the others. I felt an immediate pang of loneliness. It seems to me God has made most all His creation for community.
The idea of a person or animal being lonely is more than I can bear. This may sound silly but it is one reason I love writing little notes to family and friends. My grandchildren, I am told, carry their notes from me around all day.
We all need to know someone is near and/or thinking of us. Do you agree? The greatest comfort is knowing God is always near to those who call on Him, for He never leaves us lonely.
I was also happy to later see everyone grazing together.

I agree Mitzy, loneliness is something that breaks my heart too! It’s true that animals are happiest when they have another of their kind close by. How precious that your grandkids cherish your notes – keep writing! Blessings to you dear friend!
You’ll have a grandbaby so
it is so true! I hate seeing lonely animals too!
I agree! But perhaps what might look like loneliness is merely being alone. The feelings are not necessarily the same. Anyway, my two cents coming from someone who enjoys solo adventures.
Indeed, you are right, Ingrid, and I agree.
I do agree. But I also agree with Ingrid, that sometimes what looks like loneliness is merely being alone.

I agree also. 😄
