On the fourth day of construction word had gotten out Ms. Tomosa had killed some of her chickens to make a big pot of chicken soup. Also during the week I stood back on the first day to watch one of her son-in-laws coming and going on his bike with pieces of tables and many chairs. Ms. Tomosa from day one had two tables with chairs she had borrowed for the team to enjoy their lunch on daily. She placed her finest tablecloths upon the tables and washed them down after each person would finish their meals. But on this day it was not sandwiches for the boys it was chicken soup. She had taken her own chickens from her yard and prepared a feast for all who were helping build her home. Ms. Tomosa fed at least 20 plus people on the fourth day. Jeb shared how she smiled with joy as they sat and ate her soup.
"And he looked and saw the rich putting in the treasury, and He also saw a certain poor widow putting in her two mites. So he said, "Truly I say to you this poor widow who put in more than all; for all of these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."
Luke 21:1-4
