She is a special woman with a striking appearance. Every Saturday I meet her in the Hub. Every Saturday she sits there on a chair with her back against the open door, catching every breath of wind from outside. It is way too hot inside the room and while sweat is dripping down my spine when I’m preparing the food and drinks to take to the families, she makes nice and funny remarks to me and others. From the first time I met her, she liked it when I prayed for her before I go. After a few weeks she even started to ask for it. Now, we no longer need words. I pray for her first, and then I go to the families.
When I have some extra minutes, I like to sit next to her on a chair. She tells me the most important facts about what is happening in San Nicolas and beyond, and how we all can deal with it. Her comments help me to see the world from a different perspective, and for that I am grateful!
It is special to me that mama Judith, with all her life experience, is happy to accept that people are praying for her. She is a true prayer warrior herself. The great thing is that she thinks about people that others don’t think about. In addition to praying very faithfully for her children, “the pilots and the co-pilots that are up in the air, and the captains of the ships on the ocean” are always prayed for. What a blessing that there are people with enough life experience to fill in the gaps that I, and probably many others, don’t think of. The Holy Spirit does mighty things!
