Help comes in different ways!

Never a dull day around here!

Last night I had a long conversation with my friend Jaime (pronounced 'Hi-may')about the lady that came round - the one with the open stomach! He gave me the Honduran perspective on it all. It was nothing I didn't know already, but was good to hear it from someone else. That if she really needed help she would have accepted the lift to the hospital and that I was correct in not giving her money! It was good to hear that from a Honduran.

So, I was feeling all relaxed about it all, and at peace, praying hard for her.

She turned up again this evening and Amanda wasn't here. She said she went back to her clinic and the dr said he could operate this week, she didn't need money just a cushion and a new blanket. She had asked the houses down the road for money for a blanket and could I help. Well, I decided this was my chance to help and so went to get our spare fleece blanket for her. This was a practical way to help her. I asked her not to mention it to anyone else as I didn't want to get bothered by everyone coming round for help. Doesn't hurt to say that eh?! She said that if the operation goes well, she will come round to visit me again to show me.
In honesty I'm not sure I want to see anything more of her stomach, operation or no operation!!

I called Jaime to check I'd done the right thing and he seemed to think so, so I can relax again! Let's hope this is the start of a new life for her.
