“Creativity flows from Creator to creature through creation.”

Outside, we find the touch of the Creator – beauty. Look at that mountain. Look at the clouds behind it. What an Artist created that!

God comforts us. We comfort others. And that chain of comfort goes on and on and on for the glory of God!

Some people have asked, “What about marriage? Will I be married in heaven if my spouse has preceded me? Will they know me? Will I be special to them in heaven?”

Jesus will carry us, and He will bear away our griefs and our sorrows, whatever may be concerning us today. He knows, and He cares. And He’s powerful to help us.

I want to encourage you to go and tell others what Jesus has done for you. It will change your life—and theirs!

God truly is the Husband to the widow. And He has promised us that He has given us everything we need for life and godliness!

I’m here today to talk with you about “Take Heart!” a book my old friend Chris Taylor and I wrote for widowed men. I want to show you how it fits into the Widows Project’s vision “to comfort the widowed in their distress.”

What’s behind us is the past. The present is gone like that. But we do have a future, and who we become is who we will take into that future.

The purpose of Re is to allow God to re-invent us; because when we’ve been widowed, when we are grieving, we have lost our identity.

The holidays are coming, which can mean missing a loved one. Take care of yourself this season.

How can you best support someone who is grieving the recent loss of their spouse? Our guest Lynn Baker talks us through how to be a caring friend in a time of need.

“Change is hard work.”

Bruce McLeod from the Widows Project talks about the power of re-invention, renewal, and more.

“Did you know that peace and pain can co-exist? They can live together in harmony.” Bruce McLeod from the Widows Project shares his heart.

“…as we abide in Him and He abides in us, we can still bear much fruit—not just a little tiny bit, not just barely enough to get by, but much fruit.”

No matter what challenges we experience, we can be assured that God is up to something good!

May is for mothers. ❤️

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1:27).

Without Jesus’ resurrection, we would despair at the loss of loved ones. But because they died believing in Christ, we know that they are actually more alive now than ever!

In marriage, the husband and wife become one flesh; in the Church, the individuals become one Body. Paul refers to marriage as a “profound mystery.”
