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.  

Suggestions

  Change a light bulb

  Mow a lawn

  Paint a room, porch or house

  Repair a roof

  Repair a leaky faucet or toilet

  Buy flowers

  Go out to lunch or dinner

  Have lunch or dinner in your home on “Mother’s Day”

  Take time to visit

  Go for a walk

  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
