I've been noticing a lot of widows and orphans are being treated as a lesser value than most people, and I wanted to make this blog to help inspire you to do something about it.

Widows & Orphans
Most people think of widows as unloved, elderly, ready-to-fall-over-and-die kind of people, but most are not. They just have no one who cares for them any more. And that's not alright! We need to love and care for these widows. Show them they still have a place in our hearts.

Do you know of a Widow in your neighborhood? How about at your church? If you know of any, help her. You may not have a job, resulting in no way to help her financially, but you have legs and arms right? Go mow her lawn, or weed her garden, or make a meal and bring it to her.

"When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year-the year or tithing-and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled." Deuteronomy 26:12

Help the widows near you. I promise you, this will be a blessing to her, and it will bring joy to her heart.

"The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down." Psalm 146:9

Now, remember those children featured on your local news station? The children waiting for a forever home? They need all kinds of things. Stop real quick and take a look around. See your family, the dinner on your table, the TV on your dresser; most of what you see, they don't have.

Can't you help these children? Why not donate your old toys or your old clothing you've outgrown?

"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18.

We should do what this verse says; Be there for the orphans. The children with no loving family.

Help at least one widow or orphan near you. That's my challenge for you. I'd love to see y'all comment with your story of helping them.
