Just this past Wednesday, June 11, 2008 my new niece, Catherine Joy was born. She is the third daughter of my oldest sister, Misty who is also blessed with two beautiful girls, Elizabeth and Maya. It's amazing how so much love and joy is in this tiny bundle. To be given life and to live life with love are the greatest gifts from God.
I went with lunch with my coworker the other day and she told me the story of when she was pregnant with her daughter. When she was six months into her pregnancy, doctors told her that her unborn child was in danger--they could not find the baby's stomach in the ultrasound. Because of this, doctors offered my coworker the option of abortion. Devastated from the news, my coworker broke down...She knew it was not in her hands to decide whether or not her child was going to live or die--It was only in God's hands. Thanks be to God, Haley was born with a stomach, and though she had some health problems from birth, Haley was able to gain the strength to survive. Today, Haley will be turning two years old at the end of November--and is full of life and love. Having her daughter, changed my coworker's life completely. It taught her to never take anything for granted, especially human life.
Human life is the most precious of all. We would only know its value once we give it a chance.
