Today is national widows day.
Remember this!!
1. A widow is someone's daughter.
2. A widow is someone's sister.
3. A widow was once a happy bride and a loving wife.
4. A widow is a mother to her children.
5. Widowhood is not a curse!!!!!!
6. She never wished to be a widow.
7. Widowhood is hard!!!! There are many days that are downright lonely, depressing, uncertain
8. There are days and nights when the tears non-stop for known and unknown reasons.
9. A widow's ability to give love and receive love did not die with her husband.
10. A widow's libido or urge for s*x, did not die with her husband.
11. You!! Who loves to judge and hate on widows for no just course, wait until you become one!! For surely you will become one!! Yes you will because every woman is a potential widow and Everyman a potential widower, because death is a debt we all owe!!
12. The yellow leaves beneath a tree, are silently telling the vibrantly luscious green ones on the tree that: "we were once like you".
13. If you cannot help a widow, then don't add to her sorrow and pain!!!!
14. Don't tell a widow how to grieve or how long to grieve Who the bloody hell do you think you are? Who gave you that right?
15. A widow and her children are dangerous people to deal with, because they are special to GOD. HE is the father of the fatherless and the judge of the widow!!
16. Call a widow. Ask about her and her children's well-being, take her out. Did I hear you say that's too much for you? Then just leave her alone. Becareful widows are apple of God's eyes, hurt them and recieve instant judgement. Never judge a situation you have never been into. Support whatever they do that makes them happy. Bless them and your reward is in heaven.
