Happy New Year!

You know it is written in Scripture:

"Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him."  Psalm 127:3

So, the  children I have in my family, S.D., R.J.D.1, R.J.D.2, and Sena are all gifts the Lord has brought into my life.

But I too am a gift.  A very profound fact is written;
  "Every child has a mother----Every Mother is somebody's child."

This Christmas, from one of those children, I received a lovely gift of a bracelet, simple, elegant, inscribed; 
   "live love adopt"!
This from a child, who came from spending her first holiday with her own biological family, this year.

                                        I am feeling profoundly loved and blessed.

Which leads me to a New Years resolution. A prayer I will make continually this year:

That I find find MYSELF the grace to continue choosing Life all year.
That would be equal to choosing Jesus,
who himself said; "...I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life".... John 14:6

and for you, the person facing a "crisis pregnancy"; 
the crisis of poverty of spirit, crisis of public opinion, crisis of convenience, crisis of conscience...

know that it is also written:
    " Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins". 1Peter 4:8


I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way...since you are or were somebody's baby.

Peace of the Lord be with you
