40 Years of life

"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."    ~Mark 10:13-14~

We were all babies once, we were born to our Mothers and Fathers, whoever they may be, but even more importantly, we were a special miracle, and a special gift from God. Just think about it, one cell from your mother, and one cell from your father came together, and grew into you! It's an amazing thought isn't it? From the very beginning of time, God knew the kind of person we would become. He knew who we would be born to, where we would be born, the purpose we would be born for, and so much more, But what if we never had that chance?

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade. A court case, held on January 22, 1973, between Jane Roe and Henry Wade. This court case was held to determine whether or not it would be legal to abort babies without legal restrictions. Needless to say, it was a decision that would change the lives of millions of precious children. They never had a chance. They never got to see who they would be born to, where they would be born, or the purpose they would be born for. God has given us the special gift of life, and so many times, it has been thrown away. So today, in memory of those special little children, let's remember the lives that have been lost, the chances that have been missed, and the gifts that have been given away. Let's stand up for what is right!

If children were special to Jesus, they should be special to us too!
