Dear Friends, Let us Love One Another
Remember the Widows
“Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17b
I have read in the Bible many times that we should care for the widow. Many verses that I have focused on throughout the years referred to taking care of the widow, praying for the widow, or, as in the verse above, pleading for the case of the widow.

Hug Today While You Can
Hugging is one of my favorite things. How about you? Do you love to hug people? There is a multitude of people that you can hug and feel confident that they are happy to return the hug. My suggestion is to give them a hug today, while you can.
Who is hug worthy in your life? Possibly your mom and/or dad. Your children, your spouse. Relatives in general, like aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. An old friend you haven’t seen in a while. How about new friends that you see all the time? Maybe your pastor or priest? Your neighbors may be worthy of a hug, depending on your relationship with them.
