When It Cannot be Undone

Poor Honeybun had to go back on Prednisone. She was lame for four days. She has spinal stenosis, and sometimes, it flares and there is really nothing to do but give her meds to keep her as mobile and as comfortable as possible. Life is not fair. She is such a sweet and loyal dog and doesn't deserve this, but we are all grateful for the Prednisone. Within a day of starting on that, she was up and about again. Praise God for medicine that removes pain!

Meanwhile, after I texted a Bible verse to one of the post-abortive women I counseled, she wrote back and thanked me. As a pro-life sidewalk counselor, nothing is more heart-breaking than the young girls who are convinced abortion will solve their problems, and ignore God's clear word and our ardent pleas. She said she has been having a very hard time, constantly crying. She thinks of baby names all the time, what she might have named her child. She cannot get her baby out of her mind. She wishes she had her baby back...but of course, it is too late. The Bible verses help, as does someone to talk to. But nothing will bring the baby back, and now she regrets with immeasurable sorrow what cannot be undone. There is no magic medicine that will remove that pain.

If only those who provide this "choice" were more honest about this common response to the death of a child at the mother's bequest. Forgive me Father, for the fury I feel over the lies about abortion.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
