Widows and Orphans Policy

Charlottesville Tree Service
Has a policy I love:
Reduced rates for widows and orphans,
In keeping with James chapter one. 

They finished their first job
Under this policy,
And as the woman saw their work 
And paid her bill,
She grew teary.

What a blessing these men gave.

And what a blessing she is:
Husband died at 40,
Dropped dead in the church lobby
After a board meeting. 
They had been missionaries in South America.
She cared for his parents,
Then cared for hers,
Her mother, now ninety-nine,
The only one left. 

A touch, a connection, a blessing.

Thanks be to God.
