Let the little children come unto me

A pastor in our church has a daughter who just lost her 20 week old in the womb baby. She has adopted one, had in vitro for another, had a miscarriage, and was very surprised to be pregnant this time. She is at least 39 years old. They went in for the anticipated ultrasound for the sex of the baby only to find out it was dead. I have been weepy since then. The graveside service was yesterday.

Each time there is a temptation to sin, remember the far-reaching effects. Look at the far-reaching effects of the sin of Adam and Eve! God never intended the world to be like this. It was NEVER his plan. If a person says something like "A God of love would never let something like this happen" or, "Why do bad things happen to good people", you can boldly say that we chose it! We would rather have our sin than obey. He weeps at the death of our sweet babies and holds us when we are sorry yet again for our own sin. His perfect plan was completely disrupted by us, not the other way around.

There is a movie I want to see, and I think you should see it too, if it is in your city. It's called "Bella" and it opens this weekend. It has been recommended for church groups and Christians to support. It is a wonderful pro-life movie. You can go to www.bellathemovie.com to see trailers and get information about the movie and the theatres where it is showing.

We are called God's children, what an appropriate name for our relationship. How fiercely he must love and try to protect us, as we love and protect our own children. We would die for our own children. He died for all of his children.
