Pauline’s plight

Date:

Share post:

Pauline Richards still lives in the childhood home she grew up in 72 years ago.

The problem is, the house which her father built for his family, has collapsed around her.

At 77 years old and suffering with a number of illnesses, including diabetes and high blood pressure, the elderly woman has nowhere else to go and no money to rebuild the house. Her parents and three of her four siblings have also passed away.

Yet through it all, she is putting everything in God’s hands and is not complaining about occupying the small back section which was the kitchen and bathroom.

“The Lord say in everything to give thanks. I am not crying and flying in God’s face. In everything I am deeply contented. Right now, in everything, I trust God.” (MB)
