Hebrews-13:3 / Easter Sunday

Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

Hebrews-13:3

 

The week leading up to Easter Sunday some friends and I wore orange to represent our brothers and sisters in bondage over seas and even here in the U.S. Wearing orange for 7 days strait was a harder challenge than I thought it would be. There were a few days I just wanted to wear what I wanted to wear! But such things keep in your mind a constant reminder of other who are not free.

Easter morning I got up to watch the sunrise. The white snow that still lingered in the woods reminded me of a morning when one day we will be white like snow.

And as I put on my white dress I thought of the ones who have suffered for Christ and have gone before us. They once wore orange, now they wear white robes. They wear white because their Savior as washed them clean and brought them safely home.

My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness

 

 

1Peter-1:3-9

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

The Sound of Abortion

 Last week my youngest sister Abby and I were at a training class on how to speak to abortion-minded mothers.

This video was played

 

 

 

 

Afterword the question was asked what we were thinking while we listened. My mind said, "No, no, stop!"

 

Sometimes it's hard to fight a battle we can't see. My sisters and I, praise God, didn't grow up facing that battle. No one that I was close to had had an abortion. As a teen our parents encouraged us to involved in our local pregnancy resource center, CareNet. But it was so hard for me to understand what the problem really was. Even when I started working for CareNet as a young adult it was hard to wrap my head around.

Then I met this group..... Save the Storks.

And this group..... Voices for the Voiceless.

 

 

There is a unseen war going on. We do not war against flesh and blood. Our enemy hates life. He hates it because of the One who's images life bares.

Remember to pray for those who are on the front lines. Look into some of these ministries and find out how you can help fight this war against abortion!
