How can we encourage them? Buy gift
cards, especially for oil changes or gas.
Bring a meal. Mow their lawns. Offer to
clean. The ideas are limitless. If nothing
else, send them a card and tell them you
are praying and believe in them. My
prayer is that this first "Flowers for Mama"
provides encouragement, ideas and
support for single moms.
