Single parents need Christian love

[Gladys]

Single parents are to be given love and cared in the community. Most people are not concerned and yet these parents are increasing in our societies. It is very hard for them to bear all the responsibilities of bringing up children. As they do their duties they face many challenges.

There is pressure for need of more finances as the children continue to grow. It is difficult to give discipline especially for teenage boys. Single parents feel lonely because they find no one to share with some crucial issues. Church members and community must recognize that these parents need their support.

Luke 20:47 They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.’

What are your sentiments about single parenting?

[Dog Lover]

In my humble way of thinking, I believe that we all need Christian love. It's vital. Single parents have a rough go, but so do married parents and single people.

[Faerie]

I agree with both of you. Ideally we can see each person as an individual and help them out in the areas they need it most. So long as that is based on what they want and not what we believe they should want.

What the world needs now is love sweet love. Yes, it's a song lyric but if we had that love, unconditionally, think how awesome the world would be.

I agree with Dog Lover. All parents need support from church members and don't forget that sometimes that support and love can come in the form of calling them out when they aren't being a strong leader in the home. If done correctly, calling out a fellow friend is just as loving and caring as being there to give them a hand when they need it.

Military moms and dads really need extra support and care as well. I can't imagine what it would be like if my husband was putting his life on the line everyday and I had to go with long stretches of time without seeing him and having his help at home.
