"I, the widow in Zarephath of Sidon am so grateful to the God of the prophet Elijah... When I met him at the town gate some time ago, I did not know that because of him my life would be changed.... At that time I was expecting for my son and me to die.... But today I feel more alive than ever.... I am so thankful to the God of the prophet that He chose me to take care of him.... He told me all about having been sent to my town Zarephath because he was going to be taken care of by a widow..... And I am that widow.... I feel so blessed.... Especially because I am not Jewish.... And the prophet's God could have easily chosen a widow from among the Jewish people.... But He did not.... He chose me.... And now we have food every day.... The prophet told me that my flour will not be used up and my oil will not dry up until there is rain again.... And I believe him.".... Please read the typed out attachment when the widow at Zarephath and her family have food every day....

The widow at Zarephath of Sidon did as the prophet asked her and, consequently, her home was blessed as you can read in I Kings 17:15-16

She went away and did what Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

Every day there was food on the table for the widow, her son and Elijah just as God has promised He would do.
