March for Life 2015

This week we went to DC for the March for Life. It is my first time going and I'm glad to have been there.

There was a huge crowd, maybe half a million. How amazing would it be if the crowd matched the number of babies aborted in America since the decision, currently around 57 million? Inconceivable.

I remember when the Supreme Court passed down the decision. I never thought it could stand, not in America. Boy, was I wrong. I would never have believed this march would still be going on so many years later. I think most people would never have believed abortion would be so common.

But my main reaction was to the women carrying the "I Regret My Abortion" posters. Four of our children came to us by adoption. I saw those signs and was just so glad that my children's birth moms were not carrying one, at least not for my child. And I thought of all the families that did not get to know and love someone as wonderful as my children, whether as their birth family, foster, or adoptive family. So incredibly much loss, and we have done it to ourselves.

Miss Language: *hiccup* I have no idea why I have hiccups.


Miss Dog Lover: Because you love me. Or because you don't eat enough sugar.

Happy Mothers Day

Here we are around the calendar at Mothers Day again. I know sometimes it seems to be all about Hallmark or brunch in bed but I feel thankful and find myself with three groups I'd like to thank:


First, my own Mum and a few other women who have been moms to me. You are how I know people don't outgrow the need to be cared for. Thank you for the love and the lives that have pointed me to Christ.


Second, my children, who have allowed me the joy of being a mother.


And thirdly, in our situation, God was kind enough to let other women give birth to Miss Dance, Mr Gingersnap, Miss Dog Lover, and Mr Music. I am always grateful to them, but especially at Mothers Day I think of what they gave us and the children in choosing life for them and of what it must have cost them. I thank you more than I could ever say.


~ Psalm 113:9 ~He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
