We want to help those people very practically. The following is written by Gracious Chifamuna about an upcoming FREE virtual event meant to offer a lifeline to widows who feel so overwhelmed, hurt, and lost. No doubt life can be tough! Life can be full of “unwanted things” like death, divorce, and loss of income. When hit by these “unwanted things,” it is how we respond that matters the most. I believe that one of the best ways to respond to these “unwanted things” in life is through investing in oneself; same way how one responds to “wanted things” like marriage, career etc. There are so many ways to invest in oneself when faced with any kind of situation in life: read books, join support group, attend workshop, seminars etc.
An athlete will tell you to run a marathon you need to invest in training, a coach etc. Anyone who is healthy conscious will tell you that investing in healthy is key and they talk of joining a gym, gym partner, eating healthy, count calories and all. Married couples will tell you invest in your marriage, and you will reap amazing results, stop investing in it: then the spark and fire will soon go out. I remember that my late husband and I were intentional in investing in our marriage. We invested in premarital counselling, attended marriage retreats, seminars, read books, went to holidays with other couples etc. It paid off and I am forever grateful that we did invest in our marriage.
