Of all the statistics, as shocking as they all were, none hurt my heart more than knowing that despite the obviously desperate need there were fewer than 1% of churches that are able or willing to help fill that need!3_little_arrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896690518408515335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555256807853297515.post-33870069589412918372012-05-21T14:18:53.522-05:002012-05-21T14:18:53.522-05:00Nicole, Thank you!

I knew that kids who are products of divorce fare far worse than their peers who are in a stable two parent home environment, but I didn't realize how bad it really was. Now you have got me thinking about our church's outreach to single moms. <br /><br />Thanks for the mental poke!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822138761506862243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555256807853297515.post-89656923907723394302012-05-21T08:24:30.023-05:002012-05-21T08:24:30.023-05:00Interestingly, the children of widowed mothers do ...Interestingly, the children of widowed mothers do not fit into these statistics. Perhaps it is because they are more likely to receive help from the church, their family, and their community. Your mother should definitely be proud of the things she has done for her family, as should all single moms. Like I said, it is an unimagineably difficult situation that they are in.3_little_arrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896690518408515335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555256807853297515.post-5990403805922015852012-05-19T18:45:43.721-05:002012-05-19T18:45:43.721-05:00My mother was widowed when I was three years old. ...My mother was widowed when I was three years old. Since then, she has lived as a single woman and has fought tooth and nail to raise me well. The Church did what it could to support her, but she was the one who did everything she could for me. Mom's like that should be praised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555256807853297515.post-66259491043764405732012-05-17T08:41:53.858-05:002012-05-17T08:41:53.858-05:00I am a mother of three beautiful Children.

I am very Blessed that I have been chosen by God and that he kept me in the church, so I would raise my children there.Its by Gods good grace that I survived. I am truly grateful for women like Jennifer Maggio at Healing Place Church who started one of the first single mom's ministries and travels to churches every where helping them set one up in other churches.It is very sad to read the statistics of this.It makes me realize all the more how good God has been in my life.Not all woman choose to be single moms. It was through divorce that I became a single mom.But today I am no longer and so grateful to my Lord and savior. Thanks for the post Krista.Nicolenoreply@blogger.com
