March for life


Today was the ProLife March in Tulsa and while I was unable to attend, I loved looking at the beautiful pictures on Facebook.  It is amazing to see people of all faiths coming together to support the right to life.  Everyone deserves the right to the life that God has provided.  Not one of us has the right to take away someone's life, especially from the most fragile, innocent, beautiful babies.  These are gifts from God and
should be celebrated, not exterminated. 



I repeat again, we all have the right to live.  Children are not inconveniences to careers, school, and busy lifestyles; they are extraordinary miracles.  While our timing may be off, His is not.  He has perfect timing and each one of us is here today because someone believed in His timing and chose life.  Could you  imagine if your mother chose her career, school, or lifestyle rather than giving birth to you?  


Of these lost lives, we have lost part of our future.  We've lost great leaders, scientists, teachers, Priests, Nuns, mothers, and fathers.  Think of diseases that could have possibly been cured by one of these lost souls who could have become an amazing scientist.  Wars that may have been avoided because we lost a great peacemaker.
  








There are other alternatives to abortion; one being adoption.  A friend of mine brought her 3 adopted children to the march and asked if they wanted to make a sign.  They got to choose what was on the sign and they wanted them to say "I'm adopted".  It was heartwarming to see their smiling faces holding their home made signs made with paper and marker.  These 3 beautiful children are here because their natural mothers chose to have them and give them up rather than take their lives.  Their sacrifices formed a beautiful family that may not have been here otherwise.
