(Peanut at about 20 weeks)
Last Sunday was National Sanctity of Human Life Day and this week marked the anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade, which made abortion legal. It is so very sad that our nation has gone so far from the morals our founding father's built this country on that is it now legal to kill our unborn babies. 54 million innocent babies have lost their lives just so their moms can have rights and freedom. What about the baby's rights? Please continue to pray about and fight this slaughter of our nation's babies.
I want to share something with you that I read recently in a book called Raising Kids Who Hunger For God by Benny and Sheree Phillips. It is about how our kids hold a unique part in God's agenda. The authors ask us to consider two crucial times in Jewish history-the story of baby Moses and baby Jesus. In Moses' time, he was spared from the slaughter of the Israelite baby boys to become the leader of the Israelites. 2000 years later, Jesus was spared from the slaughter of the boys under two years old to become our Savior. And 2000 years later, in January 1973 our nation's highest court ruled that it is legal to slaughter innocent children. "Could it be that, just as with Moses and Jesus, Satan has become aware of the deliverance God intends to bring to our society, not through one man, but through a generation of children who will be "mighty in the land" (Psalm 112:2)-ones who will stand to see the nations reached for the Gospel, and thus hasten Jesus' return (2 Peter 3:11-12)?" This gives us as parents a challenge to raise our kids so that God can use them to be a counterculture to this fallen world rather than be used by Satan for evil. A hard challenge, but one with so many good rewards!
