Woman with a Dream

A woman with a dream

 

This morning one of the Chimwemwe ladies, Judith, came to my door.  Christine had to interpret because she does not understand or speak English.  She said that for 2 nights she had dreamed about coming and helping me – doing laundry or whatever I needed.  She didn't expect pay.  She just wanted to fulfill the dream she had because she was troubled until she did.  So she is in our bathroom right now, helping Christine do about a week's worth of laundry in the bathtub.  Now we pray for some sun this afternoon so that the clothes will dry.   Many of these young women I want to just put my arms around and hug.  Most of them have no mothers or fathers alive, they have several children, their lives are hard and very routine, and need love and affirmation.
