So yesterday I went out around 10:00 a.m., just planning to say a rosary and then leave. The clinic had a few cars there when I arrived, but it was not busy. I saw a few familiar faces, who were happy to seem back. As I was about to finish my Rosary, I noticed a group of 4 cars lined up to turn into Womancare. I first thought this was strange, and then it hit me. Our Veritas member Claudia had invited her students to come and pray. I had forgotten about it, and left my phone at my home. It was so great to see Claudia and about 10 of her students praying together while walking around the abortion center. What
You never know the suprises (gifts) that God presents to you when you least expect it. The even better news was that there was a possible turn earlier in the morning (the woman decides to keep her baby).
The Christmas season can be so busy on all of us. Work, life in general can take it's toll. I know speaking for myself, when we get free time, we just want to take a break. Do something fun, rest, watch football (ok atleast me), be with friends and family. Those are all great things and we need them in our life.
Our group would not be the same without your support. Everyone reading this is apart of what we are trying to do. To save lives and hearts.
For me, it's easy to be caught up in everything you need to do, and you can get comfortable in that cycle. When you're not at the abortion clinic, it can lose a little meaning of exactly what is going on there, and the emotional hurt taking place.
We need to rejoice this advent in preperartion for Christmas. But during reflection please think of the women, and men struggling with these decisions they face. People who may be leading a lifestyle that will bring them more hurt and less fullfillment in life. We never know who the people we are in contact with at work, in our churches, at the grocery store, at a family christmas party could be going through.
Thanks you as always for reading this. May everyone have a truly wonderful Christmas.
