Scripture: Luke 7:11-17
“Tell me
Tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it’s all gonna be
Wake up
Wake up dead man”
U2, “Wake Up Dead Man”
“Perhaps the most important lesson I’ve learned from the widows’ prayers is the lesson of gratitude. They are grateful to their Creator and Sustainer for the opportunity to get up one more time and walk with him again. Yes, there are many challenges that they have and offer prayers about: family, health, money, sadness, loss, violence, and yes, they cry when they pray, but they also sing and dance. I’ve learned so much from these spiritual mothers.”
Eduardo Centurion, Foreword to Spiritual Widowhood by Andy Mendonsa
“He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.”
