When the Prophet Elijah came, he told her to make him a cake. She explained her circumstances and he told her not to worry, but make him the cake. She did. That cruse of oil and handful of meal fed Elijah, the widow, her son and all her household for THREE years! I can bear testimony of this principle working. Fed 6 missionaries (expecting 2), my husband (a big eater), and my daughter from a 4 qt crockpot of chili and a 12" cast iron pan of cornbread. (It should only have fed 2 missionaries, my husband and daughter.) When I got home from Homemaking, I looked in the bottom of the pot. I sure was hungry, but there was only about 1 cup of chili left and one small slice of cornbread. Normally, I would have eaten 2 bowls full, but I was unable to eat that 1 cup of chili completely gone. I ate and ate and ate. I got down to the last 2 tbs and every time I got another bit, there was STILL about 2 Tbs left. I finally was SO full, fed the last 2 Tbs to the "chicken bucket". Seriously, I COULD not finish what was in the bowl. It was impossible. Never fear to share food with those in need! Share with a grateful heart and no one will starve, unless it's Father's will that you guys "go" that way.
