Moving Forward

Do you remember looking at lists of ‘stressors’ and seeing your problems? Life happens. “Yes.” It is there. It’s OK to be upset or almost unglued, because ours is a common and real problem. That was yesterday. But here we are today, a widow. (I still don’t like the word.) Numb, puzzled, vulnerable, sad, frightened, angry, yet laughing at things most don’t find so funny. What has happened? We have experienced the top of the list item, ‘death of a spouse.’

Resources

We inform, encourage, and equip widows. We provide books, DVD¹s, Journals, CD¹s, radio podcasts, church resources and tools, spiritually based and practical. Internationally we provide skill training for widows for economic independence.

Thanksgiving Preparations

November 19, 2024

Thanksgiving preparations are usually about grocery list making and studying the athletic events for that day.  Usually, I said, not always.  Grocery lists are being replaced with on line ordering and preset options mean game schedules do not dominate the day. Start the day with something more important.  Read of our forefathers, especially Abraham Lincoln.  I recently viewed again the booth in the Ford Theater where he was shot resulting in his death.  A man of integrity, he risked his life, and he was the author of the proclamation establishing Thanksgiving Day. Lincoln first acknowledges that we often ignore ‘these […]
