Mrs. Annaamma Thomas, Sodari Bhavan
A Raven Taught Her A Spiritual Lesson !!
Dr. Johnson C. Philip & Abraham Thomas
(Revised January 2007)
When Mrs. Annaamma Thomas was born in one of the typical Christian families close to Kumbanad, Kerala, nobody could have imagined the wonderful plans Lord had for her. Families used to be large, with a dozen children the norm among the physically healthy Christian of Kerala. Each child helped the family affairs, specially after the next one was born. It was the older children who shared most of the work within the house, including looking after the younger ones and sharing with responsibilities in the kitchen. Electricity and running water was unheard of in most places that time.
Obviously, it was impossible for any child to spare much time for studies, more so with girls. Perceptive Grandpa: The family had plenty of cattle, and every evening a large cauldron full of milk boiled for all children. At a certain age it fell to Annaamma to do this, and she would do this faithfully. Among all her siblings she was the most interested in studies, but her share of work in the large family, and her being a female child made it almost impossible for her to get more than a minimal time for studies.
