Well Worth It

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Patty and John had been trying to have a baby for a long time. They had almost given up. So you can imagine how happy they were when Patty found out she was pregnant! They told everyone the good news. They started making preparations for their new baby. They were really excited. The doctor ordered an ultrasound. They got to see a glimpse of their sweet baby girl. Everything seemed perfect. Then the doctor came in. “I have some bad news,” he said. “Our tests indicate that your baby is not normal. My advice is to get an abortion.” They were devastated. They tried for years to have a baby, now the doctor wanted them to abort it. They couldn’t do it. They had waited too long. This could be the only chance they would ever have. The months seemed to drag as they waited and worried. Finally the day came. Their new daughter was perfect. They couldn’t see anything wrong with her. As she grew, they came to realise she was mildly autistic. They love her as much as they could have loved any child. They are glad they didn’t follow the doctor’s advice. Some people think that a child with physical or mental handicaps would be better off dead. God’s 6th commandment says, “Thou shalt not kill.” Abortion is killing. Who are we to make decisions of life or death? Only our Heavenly Father has the right to decide when it is time for us to go. Even a mercy killing is murder. Dear Lord, Help people to understand that at all stages of development, a baby is a human being. Teach them that everyone has a right to life. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Reasons why Retailers should not Open and Offer Sales on Thanksgiving Day

http://www.clipartpal.com/ There are many reasons why retailers should not open and offer sales on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving was meant to be a holy day to give thanks to God, our Creator, for all of the blessings he has provided us with throughout the year. Most people celebrate it with a big dinner for extended family and friends. Some of these people may only be able to see each other once or twice a year. Family members may have to travel long distances to be there. People that must work on Thanksgiving often have to miss their family dinner, and not be able to see their loved ones. www.clipartpal.com/ Working parents have so little time to spend with their children. They should be able to have a little extra time during the holidays to spend with their children. Parents need as much quality time with their children as possible. How else are they supposed to teach them values and show their love? www.clipartpal.com/ It takes a lot of preparation to get ready for a Thanksg

My Favorite Time of the Year

I love all of the holidays, but Christmas is my favorite. It makes me sad that so many people forget that it's a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have

The Christmas Season Is Upon Us

Merry Christmas everyone!I'm making most of my Christmas gifts this year. I'm so busy. I'm running a little bit behind and so I haven't had a lot of time to write lately.
