Letter from Linda Gibbons...
“Though weary, love is not tired; though pressed, it is not straightened; though alarmed, it is not confounded. Love securely passes through all.” Thomas รก Kempis
Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus...
I am glad you walked out your story journey. Yes, its putting out our dirty laundry but we do it so others won’t have to – their only dirty laundry will be in the diaper pail.
You know of the National Post article it was in depth (read long line of dirty laundry) the night before publication I had a few “nervous tremors” but then I said, “It’s worth it.” Too many are in let’s pretend land, we “fix it and forget it and move on” until it all comes back in spades.
When we write about our dark page others can identify with the struggle to get out of the social mess we’ve faced and our failure to take the moral high road. Our dirty laundry testimony tells them they are not alone in their situation and that abortion doesn’t fix anything and they’ll not soon forget! And moving on or getting over it is not the simple task the feminist tripe imagine. So thanks for the brave outing, may God use it to save a life and a lifetime for mother and child. Life and liberty lived in harmony.
Here is a quote from Steve Jalsevac – he’s with Campaign Life Coalition in Toronto:
“Each individual who values traditional morality and principles must take personal and courageous responsibility to act appropriately on what they know is wrong and harmful. There is no “they”. There is only you.”
Sending you a little poem I know you’ll appreciate:
His Number
While waiting as a mother-to-be,
I heard God firmly speak to me.
To cast aside the world’s device
And become a living sacrifice.
Namely, that my womb should bear
The one He planned to cradle there.
And that no humanistic creed,
Should limit my fertility.
Oh, how I wrestled with that word,
So unusual, so absurd.
Could God? Would God take control?
And what would His requirement hold?
After much debate and doubt,
I threw my own decisions out.
If God can measure earth and sea,
Can He not chart a family?
And if He names and number stars,
Then is His book is each of ours.
We therefore gave Him the right
To build the house and take the charge
A mother now with five on hand,
By faith and grace I have no plan.
But cast aside the things that kill
To let His number be fulfilled.

Peace in Christ. Love in Jesus
