Don’t Look Past Me

Please don’t look past me.
I am that widow, divorcee, single woman in your church.

Please don’t look past me…
I need prayer, too.

Please don’t look past me…
I need fellowship, too.

Please don’t look past me…
I also need care when I am sick.

Please don’t look past me…
I need to have a purpose, and I want to help.

Please don’t look past me…
Because I don’t have a husband or children.

Please don’t look past me…
Don’t expect me to create an event so I am not alone on a holiday.

Please don’t look past me…
I have many gifts that God has given me, and I want to share.

Please don’t look past me…
I need hugs, too.

Please don’t look past me…
I like to be invited.

Please don’t look past me.

“Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her.”
(1 Timothy 5:3 NLT) singles & divorcees, too!

An older, single woman
