Life is a gift....

This is something we all know. Yet, some people take it for granted, ok, alot of people! A quote from Mother Teresa " It's poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." That is something that we really face alot in this ministry. The selfishness of human nature. Weeks ago we had a call from a group that helps single mothers. The social worker asked if we could do pre abortion counseling. Sure! Not a problem! She was so happy because another organization had told her "no! if the client wishes to abort, it is not your position to change her mind, that is against work ethics!" This social worker went on to tell us, the client's boyfriend WANTED the baby, but the 25yr old young lady said "I don't want to give up my job to take care of a baby." That hurt so much. Selfishness. This young momma never showed up to the appointment the social worker set. We don't know if she aborted or not. Selfishness.

We recently have had a 37yr old lady (weird when clients are the same age as you!!) with a great job. She has found herself pregnant and alone. Her boyfriend has left have hearing of her being pregnant. At 37yr of age, she wants to keep her baby. YEAH!! But her biggest fear? Telling her parents. She is not sure how they will take it. She is keeping her job til she gives birth. She will have alot of mouth from coworker I bet. She is coming to our dr for prenatals, but she lives OUT of county. Yes, she travels here by train for her prenatals. Sad that such a happy time should be such a time of keeping secrets.

Please pray with us as we minister to these moms. There is alot ahead, alot of what needs to be done. Some don't get it. Call us "saints" or "wonderful people" and the such. If everyone just helped one person, think of how many people we could be helping? Instruments of God, that is all we are, instruments in the hands of the Master.

Please pray for our Respect Life Rally on 5/14~
