“Causing Our Widows’ Hearts to Sing” Week
May 9-16, 2009
Purpose
Honor widows by recognizing their plight as a specifically identified group in our society
Defining who should be legitimately considered a widow by society (any woman who has lost her husband regardless of circumstance)
Help to promote and establish a positive image for widows by recognizing the talents and experience that they themselves have to contribute in their respective communities
Honor God by honoring those He has instructed us to care for and thus “Causing their hearts to sing with joy” (Job 29:13)
Become a Citizenship of Heaven that, among other things, is known for it’s care and concern for her widows
Throughout this week Widows Harvest Ministries would, therefore, encourage all of the citizens of heaven to take time to do something special for those widows that you know.

In the case of younger widows with children, just having a break for an evening or an afternoon from all of the responsibility and stress that comes with being a single-parent, can bring the kind of rest and encouragement that can mean the difference between giving up and going on.
Or, just use your imagination, the possibilities are limitless
