About this listen
In this heartwarming episode of A Widow’s Life, Cindy and Vickie talk about the little things God does that remind widows they’re seen, cared for, and not alone. From neighbors quietly covering a monthly bill, to a sink that suddenly starts draining, to a squirrel’s silly antics on the porch—these everyday moments become “God kisses” that bring comfort, joy, and provision right when they’re needed most.
The ladies share personal stories:
- Cindy’s neighbors offering to add her trash to their bin, saving her $50 a month.
- A stubborn kitchen sink that, after prayer and patience, simply starts working again.
- A flea-market “booth wall” that unexpectedly clears more than $100 in profit by month’s end.
- A terrifying moment driving with a spider dangling over the steering wheel—and how God helped her stay safe on those narrow Missouri roads.
- God literally holding back the rain over Vickie’s house when her roof was exposed and vulnerable.
- A widowed sister who deeply missed her son’s hugs—and how God sent two young coworkers to give her a hug right when her heart needed it most.
Throughout the conversation, Cindy and Vickie invite listeners to become “God-moment detectives”—choosing to look for the good, name the blessings, and speak life instead of dwelling on the negative. They remind widows that God specifically says He cares for and protects them and that His heart is full of good plans, hope, and abundant life.
Key Scriptures Mentioned:
- Psalm 146:9 – The Lord cares for orphans and widows.
- Proverbs 15:25 – He protects the property of widows.
- Jeremiah 29:11 – God has good thoughts and plans for you.
- Verses about abundant life and “greater is He that is in me” are also referenced as encouragement for daily living.
Takeaways:
- God often shows His care in simple, practical ways—through neighbors, timing, finances, nature, and even traffic.
- Widows can ask God for little reminders—something to make them smile, feel safe, or feel loved—and watch for how He answers.
- Training your heart to notice “God moments” shifts your focus from loss and fear to gratitude, trust, and hope.
