We as Christians all too often abandon the concept of taking care of widows...

This woman is a multi-millionaire. They held the reception at the Waldorf-Astoria, for heaven's sake. She doesn't need to be 'taken care of.' That's what so creepy about this.

"She doesn't need to be 'taken care of."

Being "taken care of" does not always have $$$ involved. A person can be "taken care of" with love, companionship and respect.

Hum, and weddings should be a time of mourning? They seek something far more valueable than their wealth the true treasures of happiness. Money doesn't cure being alone. It doesn't comfort an empty heart. There is a lot more to the charge to take care of widows and orphans than monetary considerations. They family is best preserved in the traditional mother father husband wife bond. No money can be a substitute for that. Money can't buy it.

As for the Waldorf-Astoria in a Biblical sense wedding were festivals and parties. There was nothing wrong that either. The needs of the soul and spirit are far more important than the needs of creature comforts {money}.
