One day almost nine centuries before Christ, in the middle of a famine, a woman from the village of Zarephath saw Elijah, the man of God, come into her house. All the food that remained was a little flour and oil. To make him welcome, the widow did not hesitate to make three cakes with what she had left. And the unexpected happened…the flour and the oil would not run out. (2)
Isn’t this a parable for our lives? With almost nothing, with very little, we can live something beyond all our hopes, something that will never come to an end.
