Feeds Her Family with Two Sea Biscuits
Ann Rowley,
a widow who had eight children to feed, felt a mother's pain in their hunger.
"It hurt me to see my children go hungry," she wrote. "I watched
as they cut the loose rawhide from the cart wheels, roasted off the hair, and
chewed the hide."43 One evening she felt the providence of God in
helping feed her children:
"Night
was coming and there was no food for the evening meal. I asked God's help as I
always did. I got on my knees, remembering two hard sea biscuits that . . . had
been left over from the sea voyage. They were not large, and were so hard they
couldn't be broken. Surely, that was not enough to feed 8 people, but 5 loaves
and 2 fishes were not enough to feed 5,000 people either, but through a
miracle, Jesus had done it. So, with God's help, nothing is impossible. I found
the biscuits and put them in a dutch oven and covered them with water and asked
for God's blessing. Then I put the lid on the pan and set it on the coals. When
I took off the lid a little later, I found the pan filled with food. I kneeled
with my family and thanked God for his goodness. That night my family had
sufficient food."
