Pictured above is 94 year-old Clara Nelson of Windom, Minnesota. What a prayer warrior!!!!!! Clara calls me almost every week and we pray for each other. Clara is a widow living at Pine View in Windom. She spends most of her day reading God’s Word and praying for all. Clara has written a song book! I have included a picture of it in this post. My dear friends in Windom, my beloved hometown, please go visit Clara. Ask her about her song book! Clara has guided many people to the Lord over her almost 95 years! What are you doing about helping people come into the Kingdom of God? So many widows over my almost 67 years have impacted my life! I also remember Ellen Jarmer of Windom, I met her years ago in, she was wheelchair bound, but that did not stop her from praying constantly everyday for all people.
I pray that you honor all widows and orphans daily in your prayers and support.
From CHURCHLEADERS:
Editor’s note: Nov. 13 is Orphans and Widows Sunday in the Southern Baptist Convention.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – With this upcoming Sunday (Nov. 13) marking Orphans and Widows Sunday on the SBC Calendar, Southern Baptists are reflecting on the important ministry of caring for widows.
The emphasis Sunday is on of James 1:27 which reads: “pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress” (CSB).
Be a PEACEMAKER FOR JESUS:
Matthew 5:9 is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in which He says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” The Greek word translated “peacemaker” is used in only one other place in the New Testament, in a slightly different form. Colossians 1:20 says, “For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” From ‘Got Questions’
FGGAM STATEMENT OF FAITH:
