I was talking with a widow, who is trying to get back in the dating scene. She was talking about the challenges she has finding a decent man. One of the statements that she made was…”or the one’s that you find are still living in their parents’ basement”. She didn’t want that.
Now, if you’ve been to any of my sessions you know I see things differently from others. So rather than respond with the conventional. “That’s right”. My question to her was “What does his portfolio look like”? “How many millions does he have”? She laughed, but I was serious.
Why he’s there…
Just because he’s there, doesn’t mean he does not have any ambition or drive. There are many reasons for a person still living with their parents.
- 1) We are just recovering from a bad economic situation and it takes time.
- 2) He may be fresh out of the Military and trying to get things together.
- 3) His parents may need someone to help them and it may be more economical for him to live there than to hire help.
- 4) he could be in school trying to further his education.
Side Note…
I know a young guy who lives at home and plans to be there until he’s finished getting his PhD in computer engineering. He’s doing this because he’s paying cash for school, so he won’t have any loans.
Remember 1 Samuel 16:7 says “for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart”.
Don’t be so quick to dismiss someone, because they don’t come in the package you like. Some boxes have been battered, some half open, but he contents are still good.
