After my husband died I had six weeks of savings left and no income. I had three children. I prayed simply and without great faith: "I need help." Over the next six months, in ways I still cannot fully account for, the money always came. Never abundance — just always enough. Every single month. A friend called it the widow's oil. I could not disagree.
