"Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children! Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you; you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep." Psalms 127:3 - 5 (TMSG)I'm not one of those who think every couple has a duty to "have kids". But I can not accept that babies are aborted as a form of "birth control" because of a failed condom, or an "ahemn" failure to withdraw on time, or I don't have time for this because of my career. Children precious children; and the Christians in our churches in this province says nothing, and do nothing, ever. We will not count the cost for Physical life, and we wonder why we will not do it for invisible spiritual life!
Go ahead and snort and huff! What is it about our society that it causes some to feel so hopeless that they see abortion as the only choice left?
An arrow is IN my heart today.
