Why PEIGI is Pro-Life?

In a study I am involved with, a person raised the question of "how can it be good to bring a baby into this sin sick, polluted world, where "life has so many enemies", and how can we be so callous to burden the earth with another person to support?".

The answer came to me when I thought of many times in earth's history, there were less than opportune times to have a baby.  When Moses was born, the family of  Israel saw many of their smallest members slaughtered by the government, in a blatant act of legalized murder!.

Apparently it was still the perfect time for a baby who would first be saved, and then later work as savior to his large family-the Jews!

To a couple well advanced in years, well established in their lifestyle yet to a place of oppression a baby was born. This baby, about 6 months older than his cousin, was subject to the same progrom instituted by the political leaders to "kill all baby boys-2 years old and younger", but also managed to be saved and became the forerunner to the Savour of the World, Jesus of Nazareth.

I discovered that many times, under many dire circumstances, a baby was EXACTLY what God thought was needed. Speaking generally, babies are the embodiment of  "Hope".  Actual number of babies who threaten the life of their own mother while in the womb, are actually very very low, if they indeed  even truthfully exist! That being a debate for another time.

But truthfully, the parents are blessed to have children. Children are a reward. and

"No eye  has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those love him"
1 Corinthians 2:9

The Better-The Best-is yet to come!

Knecht Baby Sweater

Simple sweater for baby Knecht, his mother I've know since she was 7, and is now 31.  

Really simple, knitted in one piece starting from the front bottom edge, using Carons "Simply Soft" yarn , in Herring Bone stitch, changing colors every  4 rows. 

Knit up to underarms, cast on 2/3 the number of body stitches, work acrost row in pattern, then cast on 2/3 more stitches for second arm again working back acrost row in pattern stitch. 

After 6 rows or so, bind off stitches for neck, knit acrost sleeve stitches keeping pattern, on just the one sleeve for about 2 rows, then cast on for back neck edge, and start working again acrost opposite sleeve stitches. Continue working to make back match front, then bind off and sew up seams.

Very easy, interesting and fast!

Pattern can easily be enlarged to make a sweater for mother and baby both.

Last month my youngest daughter went on a vacation to Juneau, Alaska. She told me of her intention to hike a trail she showed me when I visited her there.

The head of this special trail is located at the reatreat and camping center of  The Shrine of St. Therese, located off the Glacier Hiway

Dramatic, beautiful and serene the trail winds steeply around deep forest bounded by the ocean. Situated along the path, it has shrines for the stations of the cross.

And a very special shrine, that I was so honored by my daughter, because she knew it would make me both happy and sad.

 It is a memorial dedicated to the victims of abortion.

I can't put into many words the complicated way I feel, but at least I can say I  feel especially loved by her.
Her step dad and I are very  proud  that she herself shares a pro-life position.  And I am certainly glad that Robin's birth mother chose pro-life and adoption over abortion.

I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

My two beautiful daughters, God gave me through acoption. Born and raised in Alaska, today one is a nurse, and the older a director of a program for emergency youth shelter. They are an awesome blessing on so many levels, and obviously so are the women who gave them birth. My thanks to God abounds today, even while I grieve for the 55 million American babies, who were denied their opportunity to live outside the womb. I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

I am presently employed as a school bus driver for the city of Fairbanks. My largest load of the day is about 30 children, I take to and from their elementary school. They are the spunkiest, funniest, brilliantest, liveliest bunch of my day! I am thankful for them. For their parents. For the Creator who gives them breath to laugh, to joke, to sing, to read stories to each other. A line from the movie Juno was "All Babies Want to be Born!". Every one of these kids faces challenges from day to day, but I don't think you would doubt for a minute, that every one of them would raise their hand if you asked them, "who is glad they were born"? Lord, I pray for mercy of ALL of those who think taking the life of a baby is an improvement on life. The blood of the innocent cries against us. Lord give us victory as we not only to overturn Roe v. Wade, but overturn every heart to love and trust you, the giver of life. And thank you again Lord, for the mercy you showed me in my life, with the extraordinary grace of adopting two girls of my own.!

Was listening today to a broadcast of Midday Connection. The topic of discussion was 'human trafficking'. I was thinking about a few of the stories I've heard about what happens when a sex slave gets pregnant....hmmmm.....what do you think would happen? What will the owner do with this slave? This brought up to mind, another scenario. Public office holder. Getting a little 'something on the side', FROM 'a little underage something'. What do you suppose happens when a pregnancy occurs as a result of this little romp? For a long time, I thought the audience I wanted to reach most were those teenagers, buying into the lie of fornication, and then getting pregnant. These women (as well as older lie believers) are no less people I hope this blog will connect with, but the picture of those using the abortions industry is getting bigger! Why would a politician, especially a male politician put so much effort in funding Planned Parenthood? Why would abortion-on-demand, and late term abortion, even need to packaged up as anything else but murdering another human? Why would the selling of aborted babies, and/or their parts, even need to be discussed? When I started this blog entry, I had a set of conclusions all set to lay out here today. but now I can see that won't be necessary. Because I CAN SEE several aspects of all these contorted and disgusting issues. I can see: That one of The Almighty's title is, "El Roi" - The God who sees. God sees YOU; you brokenhearted you lonely you young person you old person you disgusting one you despicable one you selfish one Proverbs 15:11 says; "Death and Destruction lie open before the LORD--how much more the hearts of men!" God who sees - SEES YOU, Regardless of your condition, IT IS the same who LOVES YOU! His eyes look with love and compassion, and HOPE. His name is Lord Jesus Christ and He is the one who says, "Come to Me...",and: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Below is a website of an organization helping people out of human trafficking. http://www.thea21campaign.org/ So get saved, and I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

IN THE TITLE OF THIS SITE ... is the question - "Why we're PRO-LIFE?" and today I have yet another reason to post an answer to that question! It is especially relevant considering this is the American "season of Superbowl". The game of football and it's players get some particularly intense attention for several weeks, and I am one of many people in this country who "pay it". Currently there is much focus and broad publicity, on a particular quarterback with the Denver Broncos club, named "Tim Tebow", whose mother, against medical advice, did not abort him. Another young man named Michael Oher currently with the Baltimore Ravens, was featured in the movie "Blind Side", the oldest of 12 children, was adopted by a different family who were very helpful in his progress through school and into the National Football League.

Last weekend (January 15, 2012)on the cover of Parade magazine, possibly "The Best High School Player in Years?" - Dorial Green-Beckham was in the spotlight. This young man came from a troubled home as a teenager, and yet came into a situation, and people who have been able to help him rise above some hard things. I certainly applaud these young men in the choices they have made for themselves, that led them to the sport of football. I am thankful for foster parents and adoptive parents who opened their hearts and homes to children, not of their DNA. I also say again to, and for mothers who don't abort THANKS! Yes I thank you for the sake of the sport of football, but way beyond that, that you are a part of something so much bigger! You are part of a really big redemption story. A story of love. And I never thought about it much before, but you did something that God did with His son: you gave him to someone else to raise! See John 3:16 in the Bible. "For God so loved the world He gave His only BEGOTTEN son, that whosoever would beleive in Him, would not perish but have eternal life". Only Our Redeemer in heaven could "...cause all things to work together for good..." like it says in Romans 8:28. On page 9 in the Parade magazine, the article about Mr.Green-Beckham is titled "The Chance to Be Great". Mothers who participate in giving life to each infant they are pregnant with, is giving another person the "chance to be great". P.S. Jesus, "the Word became flesh" is free to all. If you need a copy of the Bible, send me your name and address, and I will mail you one: PeigiMidey@gmail.com I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way.

" If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it." 1 Corinthians 12:26 Like many other people last Sunday, September 11, I watched special programs of memorial on t.v. Some that stood out to me, were the children of the victims of the attacks. The particular children of my attention, were the ones who had not yet been born, when their parents were killed. It was not hard to see the connection of the unborn to their parents. The opportunity for them to honor their parents, and those who would dedicate themselves to a greater good in the future. Abortion - the killing of unborn children takes away these opportunities, so evidently illustrated in the words of these children who WERE allowed to be born. The morning of that fateful day, I with my children, were getting ready for school in my safe, warm house in Fairbanks, Alaska. But as I watched the unfolding terror on the t.v. in my bedroom, I began to fear what the repercussions of it might be, even though thousands of miles from the sites of the plane crashes. I wondered if I should keep my children home from school, and if there were more attacks to follow soon. Later I learned that all U.S.A. air space became restricted U.S.A.air space and much of Alaska was put in a bind, as people who depend on air transportation in bush villages, for food and medical transportation, were suddenly cut off. Hunters whose guides had left them out in remote sites, were suddenly abandoned until air travel could be re-secured. The ripple effect of the9/11 tragedies did indeed have a repercussion on us here, so far away. EVERY abortion performed in our country, on EVERY person, has far reaching repercussions. From the unwanted teen pregnancy, to the slaves in sex traffic, and all the politicians and "power players", who think that shedding innocent blood is somehow a good thing- THE TRUTH is, it's only adding sorrow upon sorrow. The guilt, the rejection, the physical pain and financial liabilities you hope to be free from, has now only begun to multiply! The context of the Scripture quoted above, was the apostle Paul addressing Jewish beleivers of Jesus Christ, in the city of Corinth, but it too has far reaching ramifications. Like the law of gravity, the law of "suffering with those who suffer", and "rejoicing with them that rejoice", reaches into the lives of every living person. I hope this causes you to think about the life of the mother and baby in a more loving way. PEIGI AINE A note *The link below is to an article called "Body Language", by Bob Diffinbaugh. It's only likely to be of interest to those who are studying Christianity, so I found it very largely helpful.

Mom socks, baby socks, stuffed knitted heart toy

An adoption and a pregnancy...

This is my beautiful niece Launa Rose. She adopted baby Isabelle whom she holds, while also becoming pregnant herself. She is an Alaskan native, a people who share a community of deep compassion for one another.

Mother Theresa, was a petite figure, a person of small stature, but many knew of her large and powerful influence, her large and powerfull love. While doing some background research for this blog entry, I was newly touched by the profundity of her words, expressing such compassion, wisdom and courage. At a National Prayer Breakfast, standing in front of a large crowd of attendees as well as President Clinton, Vice President Gore and their spouses. At this venue, Mother Theresa did a "small thing, with great love", and delivered the following. I repeat it here with the hope you will find hope and inspiration in her words. Thank you for reading this.

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters"
And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." (Mother Theresa -- "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14)

I am a woman who adopted two children. I have a sister who gave two children up for adoption
