I'm a single mother and sometime it gets hard and tough for me. I have family here to help but sometimes I just don't want to always depend on them.
A lady in a group that I belong to posted this message and it has lifted my spirits up and I just wanted to share it with other single moms:
Dear Single Mother,
You are a single mother, and I know it is not what you expected or planned for, but it is something I understand. I have walked through this with you from the very beginning, and I am with you now. I know there are times when you are lonely, but remember that you are never alone. I know there are things that cause you worry and anxiety, but I want you to know that I have promised to provide for you and meet your needs. I want you to trust Me with your children). I will be a Father to them, and they will never go anywhere that is outside the coverings of My love. I want you to trust Me with your future. I will do what is good and what is best. When things are shaking I will keep you steady...When things are hurting I will heal the pain...When things are uncertain I will be your guide...When things are unclear I will be your Wisdom...when things are overwhelming I will be your strength...when things are dark I will be your light...when things are hectic I will be your rest. It brings Me great pleasure to know your heart is trusting in Me. Keep On in My Strength, Keep On in My Joy, Keep on in My Peace, Keep On in My Love. Love, Jesus."

You know, that is so true. God is the Father to the fatherless and a husband to the husbandless. When you feel alone, He can be there to comfort you and make you feel loved. God is an awesome God and He is with us no matter what is going on in our lives. I am not a single mother, but sometimes I am. Let me explain this....I am a military wife. I have been married for four years this coming July and out of the four I've had my husband home a year and a half. We have three children, so in a way I am a single mother at times. It's not easy, but when i feel lonely God reminds me that I'm not alone and that He is there to ease my pain and to help me through everything and every moment in my life. We all have to trust in God and let him be that Father and Husband that we so desperately need and when we finally come to the conclusion that, yes He's always there, it makes things that seem dark and overwhelming really be lifted off of you. Thanks for sharing this discussion. God bless

yes, there are times that i have been a single mother even while married and i consider myself that way. i know my husband loves us and will do anything for us, but while he's gone i am raising our children on my own so in a way i am a single mother. thankfully, it's not forever though. God bless

This is beautiful and so very true. I am not a mother, single or otherwise. But this was still a wonderful blessing for me. I was not going to read it at first, because it didn't seem to apply to me. But God's promises apply to us all. Thank you so much for sharing this.
