“Causing Our Widows’ Hearts to Sing” Week May 7-15, 2001
Throughout this week Widows Harvest Ministries would, therefore, encourage all citizens and members of society to take time to do something special for those widows in the respective communities where we live, worship, work and play.
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” – Job 29:13.
- Become a Nation that is known for recognizing and insuring the proper care concern and just protection for all of her widows.
Suggestions
- Change a light bulb for her.
- Mow her lawn or clean out her gutters, or both Help her with interior or exterior painting Repair her roof Repair a leaky faucet or toilet for her.
- Buy her flowers Take her out to lunch or dinner.
- Invite her to your home for dinner on “Mother’s Day” Take time to visit with her in order to get to know her better Go for a walk with her.
- 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.
