Being together with the widows for a time now has given me the opportunity to get to know how I can be of help to them.
It all started from my childhood days as I lived and watched my mother as a widow struggling to raise all of us with little or no job to survive. The struggle became too much that she couldn't take care of us and she decided to give us out to uncles and aunts to help raise us up and pay our school fees. After all that sufferings I made up my mind to take care of my mother once I get money. But I couldn't achieve that because she died just when I was still struggling to stand on my feet financially.
These were all the things that I was able to gather for our get together with the widows. 15 measures of rice, one bag of sweet potatoes, different sizes of clothes, three sachet of salt.
When my mother died I made a promise to myself to help widows no matter how little. That was how I started nursing this issue of get together for the widows once in a while. It all started last year December 22 when I gathered some widows and less privileged individuals. They all came to my house by 3 pm. After a little prayers said by one of them, we read the bible to encourage them that all things are possible if we can trust God to provide for all our needs and add hard work to it. After everything we shared the clothes, and food stuff.
I started planning of having another get together with them since April this year (2023), but it did not work because of the high cost of commodities in the market.
At this point I unvaield everything before sharing it.
Finally we meet yesterday 23 December 2023 and today 24 December 2023. I was shocked at the response that I got from some of the women who thought that people don't remember them any more, but they see reasons to thank God for the gift that I brought to them at this crucial period when they can not buy things in the market because of of the high cost.
These are the widows and less privileged that came for the meeting and got their own share.👇 ( Two widows could not come but I sent their gift to their houses because I have already included them and one of them was in the hospital at that time with her sick son who she could not live and come for the get together. All of them were either in number.
When we came to end of the sharing because what we have finished others kept insisting that I should give them their own share. I wish I could do more. They don't even know that it pains me to see that some will get and others will not get.
To all that made this possible i want to sincerely appreciate you. May God bless and attend to your own needs too. One of the women really prayed for you all when I told them that I am not doing this alone. She took her time and pray for everyone who supported.
