*Luke 7v11-17 MSG*
Talks about a widow, whose life was filled with losses & misery. She lived in Nain.
ππΌ
She had no name.
ππΌHer misery was used to describe her.
ππΌMisery had indeed wrapped itself round her like a fitted garment. She was only identified as *THE WIDOW OF NAIN*
ππΌ
She had lost her hubby, probably a few months or years back, & now, her only son was gone.π₯
ππΌ
Nonetheless, this widow of
Nain proceeded to bury her only son.
ππΌ
There were people there pretending to be mourning, meanwhile, they were gossiping amongst themselves..π€·π½ββοΈ
ππΌ"When did she lose her husband that we are once again burying her only son?
ππΌAre we sure she is not a witch?
ππΌIs she the only
one in town?
ππΌ
From one tragedy to another.
ππΌGod must be punishing her for her sins."
ππΌ
By this time too, the grave diggers were waiting. They had completed the task of digging the sons grave, & only waiting to be paid their balance
ππΌThe mourners at the graveyard were
waiting too, but, suddenly, the Lord saw her...felt her pain & showered her with compassion.

*Luke 7:14 MSG*
