Widows

THERE is a serious place for the widows in the Ecclesia also. The comforting in the time of loss and distress is the work of the other members of the Ecclesia. But when the widow has regained strength through those rninistrations of love, there comes a time when she, too, can take her place and continue the work. The older sisters. with a wealth of experience in all the facets of life behind them, can give a tremendous amount of valuable help to the ecclesia. She can give counsel to the young. She can love the little ones. She can keep busy in many small ways, quietly and unobtrusively, without becoming a "busybody." Showing her courage and faith before her neighbours will be, perhaps her first unconscious work. Then she can use her own personal talents to the best of her ability, with no other distractions to take her mind. She can take more time to study, and prepare her mind so that her counsel will be sound and just. The place in the ecclesia for the widow is one of dignity and respect, but above all, she will exhibit love and consideration for others, her experience has taught her as no other can. -- EG.

 

The Scriptures are full of the accounts of righteous women who performed quite spectacular tasks, as well as quiet, unassuming women, and all were in the plan and purpose of God. Without them there would have been a great deal lacking.
