Single adults - this generation's "widows"

The most outstanding thing about this week was my realization that single parents are my heroes.  In the church world we are so oriented to marriage and parenting as couples that we sometimes overlook the double or triple duty that single parents do.  I spoke with several single parents this week - in varying stages of "singleness" - and I am amazed at their struggles and their stubbornness to raise their kids right.  Singles and single parents are this generation's "widows" that Jesus cared so much about.  We will answer to Him if we do not seek to are for them.
