Widow’s Care Foundation

The Deborah Warriors Widows Care Foundation in USA is excited about the two new Co-Directors Rev. Dr. Barbara Morris and Minister Rosa Thompson standing together to encourage and exalt Widows to stand and depend on God.

Rev. Dr. Barbara Morris has been a part of the Deborah Warriors Fellowship under the umbrella of BJ Ministries for over eight years. Before she became a widow, her heart was always turned towards helping, encouraging, and teaching other widows. She and her husband were faithful members of the Work of God.  They supported the work of the Widows and their families in monetary contributions and in prayer.

Rev. Dr. Barbara Morris’s Widowhood’s Experience

On September 11, 2004, she became a widow after being married for forty (40) years.  Her husband was going to celebrate his 63^rd birthday on September 17^th, 2004.  He was looking forward to retiring in the month of December. Over the years he had traveled many times with his job and was away from home a lot; however, to think that this time he would not return, left her in a state of shock.  She felt a part of her was gone forever.

Her husband was an excellent provider and took care of many things. She never had to be concerned about many of the household tasks. 1 Cor. 7:3 (KJV)   Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. Ephes. 5:33 (KJV) Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

It was a frightening experience for Dr. Morris.  The forty years of living with her husband ended unexpectedly. She felt the warmth of his presence leave. The experience can be described as the following:  If both you and your husband used one blanket to cover yourselves with in the bed and now one dies and takes that one blanket with them, will you miss that covering?  This is when you will discover how much warmth you have left and how much was taken away when they died.  At this point, Dr.  Morris realized she had to cling to God to replace that missing warmth that her husband shared with her. She kept thinking that if she had only the warmth of her husband, she would not have been left in the cold. She loved her husband and thanked God for him being her covering, but during the course of her life, she had to learn to lean on the arm of God.

Many questions ran through her mind. What could she have done to cause him to live? Why would God allow him to leave her?  She had always thought he would do a great work for God and she would get to support and help him. What would she do with all the responsibilities that were left to her charge?

The answer was God.  She thanked God for being there for her in her time of distress. Psalm 120:1 (KJV) in my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

Now she knows that she must depend on God to help her to adjust to her new life style. He has proven himself to her through good and bad times.  Her consolation is knowing that God will never leave her nor forsake her. Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)   Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Although she had always supported the work of the widows even before she was a widow, she did not know the depth of how widows truly felt until she had the experience.  She thanked God for giving her the love for widows even before she became a widow.

Words of victory to the widows

Minister Rosa is sixty three (63) years old and has been a widow for two (2) yrs and nine months. She was married for forty two (42) years. Forty years of her marriage, she endured an alcoholic husband. She went through great pain as she saw her husband suffer from alcoholism. Through the years, Rosa became the head of the household. She had to assume most of the responsibility through her whole marriage, especially after her husband got hurt on the job and couldn’t work. She worked at least two jobs most of her marriage to provide for her family which included a son (in the home) and a daughter not living in the home.

The results of alcoholism took its toll on her husband’s body. She would have to call an ambulance or take him to the hospital when it became more than they could bear.  Regardless of the way she was treated, she would stay by his side and do whatever she had to do to take care of him. Minister Rosa found it to be a challenge to deal with her husband, because he did not think that he was sick.  He stayed in denial when the doctors told him to stop drinking, often becoming angry and sometimes violent. Minister Rosa struggled within herself because she knew that her husband would not make it if he continued this type of lifestyle.  He refused to get any help.

After the death of Minister Rosa’s husband, she had an even greater desire to live for God. She knew He had answered her prayers, because He lifted a heavy burden off of her. God filled the void within her life with peace. Rosa’s first thoughts after her husband’s death was, “Thank you God because you have lifted this heavy burden from me”. Since her natural husband had passed, God became her husband and she began to feel refreshed because God had taken the worry and tiredness away.  He had given Minister Rosa peace of mind. God had provided for her, even when she didn’t see a way naturally.

If someone is out there who doesn’t have God as their husband, Minister Rosa advises you to “make God your husband”, because without Him, you will be lost. Even if you are still with your mate, pull on the power and the anointing of God to help you through all things.  God will never leave or forsake you.  If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you.  All you have to do is trust, obey, and believe in Him. You must study His Word, Believe and never doubt the power of God that He is able to work out every situation in your life.

Isaiah 54:5 (KJV) For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1 Cor. 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

James 4:8 (KJV) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
