| my beautiful mother with the pride of the Chesapeake |
When my Mom was pregnant with me it was discovered that I
had a hole in my heart. The doctors told
my parents that there was a good chance I would be mentally retarded. At that point, “terminating the pregnancy”
was offered to my parents as a “solution”.
I am so blessed that my mother (and father) was courageous enough to
continue with the pregnancy and allow me to live in whatever state the LORD delivered me.
On Mother’s Day I am reminded of the beauty of life and the
courage of every mother. I am reminded
of how my mother chose to give me life
and give me a high quality of life no matter my abilities. I am reminded of how much I want to one day
be a mother myself and how I hope to be as wonderful as my own mother. I am reminded of the risks and the sacrifices
my mother took in giving me life and raising me. I am reminded of the love that I feel every
time I call and hear my Mom’s voice or
walk in the door of my home.
So, thank you God for giving me a mother who loves you. Thank you Mom for choosing life, teaching me
the faith, and inspiring me to be the best I can be. For all of those Moms out there Happy
Mother’s Day and thank you for choosing life.
For those mothers out there suffering after an abortion, my heart and
prayers go out to you, Project Rachel offers help and healing for post-abortive
couples. Thank you Mary for saying yes to life. Thank you Jesus for making life worth living.
I recently heard on the radio that we need to remove the crisis from a crisis pregnancy, not the pregnancy. Interesting point.
