The Widow’s Flour & Oil
Theme Scripture: 1 Kings 17:14
Theme: Daily provision in the midst of drought. Simple offerings multiplied. Sacred supply for mothers who feel they do not have enough, But God!
This collection celebrates the quiet, faithful work of mothers: preparing meals, tending homes, and offering care when resources feel scarce. It reminds us of God’s daily provision for both the body and the spirit. Like the widow in the story, a mother’s small offerings, prayerful acts, and steady work are multiplied by grace to sustain her family and her faith.
