Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27 NIV
I am seeing firsthand how important it is to help widows and orphans who are in need. I have a few neighbors who are widowed and need odd jobs done around their home. They want to remain in their homes, and I understand how important that is.
I am blessed that my mother, at eighty-five, is still taking care of her home. She is in excellent condition, but when something arises, she cannot do, her family steps in to help. I realize that not everyone has family, so it is important for God’s children to step up and help those in need.
Be Encouraged! You can be a part of helping an elderly person in need. Just ask God to open your eyes to see those around you who could use your help. He will show you.
