Katmandu, Nepal: Beggar

You’ve heard the story of Peter going to the
temple, seeing a lame man and declaring, “Silver
and Gold I do not have, but in the name of Jesus
Christ rise up and walk.”

I saw this lady outside a temple in Nepal. I wanted to
pray for her like Peter did. I wanted to grab her by
the wrists and pull her up. I wanted to walk in faith.
But I didn’t. I photographed her with a long lens
and quickly put some money in her hands as I walked
past her and out of the temple. God, help me to do
it better next time.
