Widows mite

For the last 16 years Marykutty has been doing odds and ends in a doctor’s house. Though she earns only a paltry wage of 125 a day, that doesn’t deter her from giving succour to a poor child by sponsoring his education and thereby setting a glowing example for thousands to follow. When she was stricken by Psoriasis and withering away with her face and scalp covered in sores and scales, it was the healing hand of Jesus that saved her from her abject misery.

Brimming with love and gratitude to the Lord who healed her, she was the first one from the Heavenly Feast, Trivandrum church to step out to sponsor a child. She couldn’t but do it because that severe was her condition before the Lord healed her. She recollects the days when she struggled every morning to extricate herself from the bed sheet that got stuck on her festering sores on the head. Though the family she was working for was good enough to take her to many other physicians for further treatment, it brought little comfort to her.

One of those days of her utter misery, she happened to see the TV programme of the Heavenly Feast as she was carelessly switching over the channels. Br. Thanku was praying for the sick and the afflicted, and as he was doing so he said that Jesus was healing a sister who was suffering very painfully from Psoriasis on the head. That very moment itself a very soothing coolness came over her. In a few minutes’ time she could feel a palpable difference on her head. On touching it, she realized that, the oozing of pus and the watery fluid was miraculously stopped. Before long, all the sores got dried up and the scales started to fall from the head and she mopped it up and threw it away. After that, to date, she hasn’t been afflicted by that debilitating disease any more. Now her heart bursts out with gratitude to her good Lord Jesus. Nobody will be surprised even if she sponsors a hundred children!
