As a Christian woman you need the support of other Christian women and I have been very blessed to have some amazing friends. However I am very disheartend by the lack of support offered to single mum's in the church. It is as if they know what to do with widows but single divorced mum's, oh my what to do! As one woman put it, it is as if we walk around with ashes on us, or a plague has come upon us. People say apply and apply for jobs little do they realize that exhaustion hits in and the cleaning of a home, schooling your children and paying bills just avalanches in, yes you put in the time to find a job and do the best you can. Some friends question everything you do. The truth is they need to take a walk for one day in your shoes. That applies to many things in life. My goal is to set up something for single mum's we are not something to shun from but a force to be reckoned with, once we stand together.
I encourage you, where ever you are to stand in the gap for many hurting people. Today I asked a lady if she was alright she said nothing so I looked at her and said you are not alright are you, I went to her and prayed with her. She was a hurting soul. So easy just to ignore that pain. Yet a kind word a hug meant everything.
Take the time to care.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
