My dear friend Mama Helen is here with us now.  When she arrived I hardly recognized her.  She is in very poor health.  The doctor says she must rest.  So she has come here to eat three meals and sleep most of the rest of the time.  We love her dearly.  Today she was talking about how difficult is was to become a widow with young children.  Francis, her oldest son, was only 12.  She had four older girls.  She had a 2 year old girl and a baby on the way.  Number ten.  She was only 40 years old and had been married for 20 years.  She really suffered.  Of course that was all before she knew the Lord.  She turned to the marabou and he gave no lasting help.  She's sixty now.  Been walking with the Lord for ten years.  He is her all in all.  She suffers much from poor health.  But we are doing our part to strengthen her.
