"Widow" in the Bible: James 1:27
Both the Old and New Testaments contain many exhortations to care for widows and orphans. Widows and orphans have been cut off from the rest of society and lack the family support structures that the rest of us enjoy. We live in a culture different from that of ancient Israel, but we are still obligated to help those on the fringes of society.

from the brothers and sisters,at my church.
boy was i badly mistaken.
once again thank you.

Marie – I am so sorry for you loss and espcially for not having the support you needed and deserved. You have reminded me how important it is to not assume that those with lost loved ones have lots of support from their close family and friends.
