Today I remembered, walking through the darkened streets of Guatemala - being led to a woman's hovel who lay dying. Her family was so anxious and they were begging me to come to pray for her. And after a 10 minute walk in the dark, with Pastor Robert our interpreter on this trip, we arrived and I was taken straight inside to her. Stepping just inside the door - she was on a bed literally at the doorway!
I was hurt seeing the conditions in which she was dying. Rough wood walls with cracks were right next to the bed she was on. A little sickness bowl lay next to her. Her arms were so thin and frail. Laying there so very sick and helpless, she was barely alive. Pastor Robert interpreted while I prayed for her. The smell of death was in the airless room.
My love for this poor woman spilled out in compassionate prayers over her. I couldn't help but weep for her, and her poverty stricken family who stood helplessly by while their mother was dying. They didn't have any less love, nor any less concern nor less pain, just because they were in abject poverty. It broke my heart to see the grief and pain in everyone's eyes this night. Humans are human beings no matter where they live, or in what conditions they have to live in.
Today I am trying to send a container of my Moms Against Hunger food to another country of people who are starving. Literally. Please pray for me that my efforts will be successful and I will be able to ship this container of 250,000 meals for the suffering people of Zimbabwe. This time I can do more with my prayers to help - prayers with food attached for the people!
I know you may not can go yourself and touch hurting people - but you CAN support Moms Against Hunger! And together we can make a difference to the suffering going on in the world today. I need partners to help me, Zimbabwe is disparate for outside aid.
I cannot turn my face away and do nothing to help. Can you turn your face away?
Go to the Donate button here and give with me! Visit my site and see what kind of food I have right now ready to ship. I have the food already I just need the shipping money to do so! Please give today.
