Greatful indeed.

A Friend told me she was pregnant today. I was filled with excitement, but then extreme sadness because she said she would terminate the pregnancy if they found out the baby had downs syndrome or anything else wrong. It just made me so sick inside and so sad. How could someone do that? It's a baby, it's life, it's a miracle. As i drove home from dinner, i was thanking God again for my little bundle of love in my backseat. Her smiles, and coo's and babbling make my day. She rolled over for the first time this week and it might as well been getting a million bucks, we were so proud. Funny how the littlest things your baby does makes your whole day! When i look at her sleeping or smiling at me, I think of the verse "you formed my inward parts, you covered me in my mother's womb" . Mia wasn't an accident, or a "fetus". She was formed in the image of God. She was formed for me to raise. She is "mine" for a short while. I am so in love with being a mom!!! I pray for this new life growing inside my friend, and pray so hard that she will keep this life growing inside!!!

Oh, Kristin - that makes me unbelievably sad. Life is a gift. All life. I shutter to think how God will deal with us as we continue to de-value life. Since I have a friend with a down syndrome child, I know first hand the rewards and blessings that have come to that family as a result of valuing who she is in Christ and their gift from God. I pray your friend is convicted each day as her pregnancy continues.
