A Day of Remembrance

Here is a letter I am sending to the Editor of our local paper to be printed in Sunday’s Paper. May we all take time to remember.

Dear Editor,

Today, January 22, 2006 I encourage everyone in the North Country to take a moment to:
Remember those children who never got the chance to feel their Momma’s touch.

Remember those children who never got the chance to have their Daddy read a bedtime story to them.

Remember those children who never got the chance to laugh and giggle.

Remember those children who never got the chance to walk and run.

Remember those children who never got the chance to hop, skip and jump.

Remember those children who never got the chance to eat hot dogs, pizza and Happy Meals.

Remember those children who never got the chance to learn to read, spell and count.

Remember those children who never got the chance to go to college and grow up to be whatever they wanted.

Remember those children who never grew up to be our friends, our children's friends and our grandchildren's friends.

Remember those children who are a part of our family but whom we never got to meet.

Remember those women who in an attempt to take the life of their child lost their own lives as well.

Remember those women (and men) who every day have to live with the consequences (physical, emotional and spiritual) of aborting their children.

Remember the millions of children who needlessly but purposely and "legally" lost their lives.

Pray that our nation would repent of this great sin of abortion.

Ask God to forgive us for allowing our nation to condone this great evil for 33 years. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court opened the way for millions of children to be legally murdered in the United States through abortion.

There is Hope: 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Thanks for taking the time out to remember.
