Think about that on Father's Day. Israel is condemned for how they dealt with single parent families. Almost half of all kids today are growing up fatherless. Plead for the widow. That's the third one.
Widows are a big deal in the Bible - always a concern for the widows.
But to the Bible writers, the term widow included single moms and unmarried women living alone. A widow was really any woman who had to fend for herself in a man's world. Like welfare mothers. Like moms whose minimum wage job pays less than the cost of daycare. Like battered women who can't get any help from the courts.
