I met an elderly woman in the store today who's husband passed away and is unable to drive.
I feel like it was God who caused my meeting this woman, because all events seemingly lined up like ducks in a row and resulted in this meeting.
At any rate, she's no family here to help her, and to go to the store and run any errands she's paying a woman 50 dollars once a week to take her to do these necessities. (Why any human being would charge an elderly woman such a sum to help her a little is beyond me.)
So any rate although I am disabled I offered my husband and I to take her to do various things if she needed. We exchanged information at the store, and as soon as my pain levels are calmer in a day or two I figured we would stop by her house - perhaps with a dessert or something nice - to sit and talk more, and so that she has opportunity to meet and talk to my husband more since there will definitely be times I wouldn't be able to come along.
I would just ask for prayer for this woman who finds herself alone and without any help in her old age (save those who would take advantage of her)...
And pray for my husband and I that we are able to be for this woman what He would have us to be in Christ.
Thank you.
