There are many single moms who come to us from desperate situations. We do not take this trust lightly. I challenge us to listen to their life cries. Some of them have been emotionally traumatized, facing unbearable burdens that few of us have experienced. Why are you on this outreach team? Many of you have sisters or moms or aunts who have lived the life of a single mom. You share their burden. Thank you seems so simple; but this team would not be as effective without you. Thank you!
A children's worker at our Saturday outreach reported to me what one single mom commented. She confided that she had been abused by a man and said it was great to see men who cared enough about her to change the oil in her car. Wow! That comment gets to the heart of our service. What an incredible thing it is to share in this ministry.
Most of the men who serve on our outreach team never see the single moms who bring their cars. But the single moms see what the men do. Sometimes it’s unbearably hot; sometimes there are snow flurries and numbing cold temperatures. But the single moms see how people are sacrificing their time to help them.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we thank our Eternal God for the awesome opportunity to lend a helping hand.
