While I don't consider us anti-social, neither do I consider us to be a really social family. We have never partied much, or had lots of company. We don't go out with other people a lot. We do have friends, and we care deeply for them, helping them when help is needed etc. But the bottom line...it is just us.
Me, my spouse, and our children.
I know others who have a house full of people regularly. They enjoy the chatter and busyness. We can too occasionally. We might even be found exercising our humor and entertaining the room at the next church potluck !
But to whatever degree, we are all social. God said it. So it is.
"It is not good for man to be alone..." (Genesiss 2:18)
Every animal Adam named had a mate. They had purpose. "Be fruitful and multiply.."(Genesis 1:22)
(...it takes male and female to do that.)
Oh I suppose the woman was needed for procreation, God's creative design for life after all, is male and female. But God spoke and it became so once again, just as He spoke every other thing into reality. "It is not good for man to be alone, I will make a helper for him." (Genesis 2:18)
We may not be social butterflies, but we are not alone. And it is good.
We may not be social butterflies, but we are not alone. And it is good.
