Some time ago, I wrote about my brother Johnny who had Down
Syndrome. This week, Joni Ericson Tada aired his story on her program, “Joni
and Friends.” For those who don’t realize the atrocities done to the less
fortunate or unwanted, this will open your eyes. While this occurrence took
place in the 1940’s, things haven’t changed much, with the exception that
thousands of children are being aborted because it is possible they have some
type of disorder, based on test that were not available back then.

Many Americans are asking “where is GOD?” We kicked Him out
of our schools, our court rooms, our government institutions and we kill our
children (among other things).
Every child is of value, and as King David said,
For You formed
my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.

–Psalm 139:13-18, NKJV
Our children are precious unto the Lord. If you are
considering an abortion or placing your child in an institution, please
prayerfully reconsider. If you have already done so and you are living with the
pain of regret, it’s not too late. Cry out to God and He will hear you and
receive you. He will forgive your sins and heal your broken heart. All of us
need to support the rights of the mentally and physically challenged, as well
as all unborn babies.
God bless~
