I know this isn't true for all cases, but just imagine if more sons and daughters, relatives and close friends lived out this principle. There would be less of a need for "old folks" homes, and care-giving centers. Families would know more, and have more generational relationships. Values would be passed on, and maybe, just maybe, America wouldn't be so self-centered. Now there's a thought. There will come a time in everyone's life where this situation will meet them face to face.
3 Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. 4 But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.
1 Timothy 5:3-4
8 But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.
1 Timothy 5:8
16 If a woman who is a believer has relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are truly alone.
1 Timothy 5:16
