Especially for single mothers.
Interesting piece responding to a divorced mother with a child who was feeling like her child was being neglected when she worked outside the home.
Contrary to what I thought the answer should be, the answer, which seems to make more sense to me, is that single mothers should stay home with their children and find ways to support themselves with home. Family should help if necessary, and if still more is needed, the Lord has specifically revealed that church welfare is to help out.
It is that important to the Lord that children have their mothers to help them.
