The Lord Who Made You Will Help You

The sweet friend who chose life over abortion several months ago texted me with her Maternity room number.

"I can visit?" I asked. She had been exhausted after the c-section the day before and I didn't think she would be up to visitors so soon.

"If you can!" V said.

I had put off sketching a picture which is what I wanted to give the new little baby as a gift. I will be traveling to NY again to help my folks Saturday, and had a zillion things to do. I quickly threw the dirty clothes in the laundry, folded, then packed. Then, I hurried to find the text photo of the new baby V had sent me, and spent the next hour drawing her portrait. Fortunately, I had a new little frame, and incredibly, a perfect size little gift bag with pink and purple in it. God was with me, since I didn't have time to go buy those things! I framed the portrait, stuffed it in the gift bag, and drove the hour to the hospital.

When I arrived, my friend V was alone, so I had that scrumptious little baby all to myself. While I was there, several people showed up, but I had fifteen minutes holding the little miracle child all alone. Before the deluge of people, V and I prayed together. It was a short prayer, but my heart was filled to the brim with gratitude to God for rescuing this precious girl.

I pictured the flood of women who stream into the abortion mill each day.
So grateful to be holding the precious child of one who turned away, despite her fear.
