Compounded Grief of the Widow

It is difficult to imagine in sweltering   temperatures rising to   averages  102  F .  sustaining this for days  to  another   Extreme   Soon  following torrential rain , with absolutely nothing to   alleviate that  condition of living. 

But   this  widow works ,  for her seven children as the sole breadwinner of the home.  

 She  works seven days a week   a humbl  laundry woman   working   in her customers   

homes   

There  are no comforts nothing resembling a belying a purchase anything of  pleasure  . 

 Notwithstanding,  she  is  confronted  continuously    As    sole  Provider  for the welfare  of the family. They are barely making it. Not a big leap to say it is sub sistence    living, but  it  it has been the best she can do. 

 To make matters worse this year is the  sixth  death anniversary observed  , and these independently observed of each other ,  which is  a tradition   acknowledged   in the Phillipines,  two   Children  and  their  premature deaths and   her  husbans  murder.

 

  Her living condition are so deplorable ,  seems  bereft  of hope,  yet , she is not without such. 

Not only is her thankful spirit visibly  discernible , she has a remarkable absence of expectations from others.  Instead she  is motivated with a great sense of duty, in her Faith and for her children. 

 So much so is her great sense of responsibility for her family. 

As of last Sunday Mary Jane slumped forward in her  seat at Church ,  barely aware of her surroundings. 

  She  was taken to the  Provential Hospital , by Simon and Leah who attend that church. 

  She was  admitted. She had had a heart attack. 

And then  in and out of awareness for the next 48 hours Mary Jane  somehow managed to be concerned about her job and having her employers know she would find a temporary replacement.

She had survived but is told if she does not remain at rest she will certainly have another event. 

We have provided a modest supply of heart health vitamins and  remain " vigilant  " in terms of probable financial assistance for her family.

Indeed, "the poor you have with you always". Jesus 

"And the poor heard Him gladly"
