Gift (part 1)

You know the saying the best gifts come in small packages.....our family experience just that tonight. Living right next to a shanty village provides many opportunities to be the hands and feet of Christ to our neighbors. This has included everything from taking expectant mothers in labor to the hospital...to chasing a pack of wild dogs from the farm. Today we were called upon to patch up a two year old boy named Gift who, like some American toddlers I know, fell off a table receiving a big gash above his left eye. Being the most accessible medical treatment, the family brought the boy to our property and asked for help. The kitchen table became an examining table and our kids the physician assistants. A few steri-strips and some ace bandage later and gift was ready to go..........(see part 2)
