Gearing up!

We have been toying with going to March for Life ever since Marcus was a little guy.

Every year we found a reason to not go, the youngest is too little, it is too cold,

to long of a ride, someone is sick...

Well, this is THE year.

We are going, I don't care how little the youngest is, I don't care how cold it is,

I don't care how long the ride is, and I don't really care if someone is sick

(okay, maybe that one is a bit extreme, but you get my point)

WE ARE GOING, 

so 

Washington DC, get ready,

 the Smith clan is coming!

We will be leaving Pottsville at about 7:15 a.m on a bus trip that is being sponsored by 

St. Joseph/St. Vincent Churches in Girardville.

Marcus and Luke have gotten to ride on an STS bus with their nana once, but that is the extent of bus

rides for them. The children have never been on a Metro, but have ridden on trains. They are looking forward to both experiences.

I just pray that they all are good for the ride, and well, if not, it is the way life goes.

Some of the children have their opinions on this for example,

Thomas says we are going to "March from Life"

Luke says that we are walking for babies,

Marcus says it will be interesting.

 I already know I am going to be proud of our children at this event. I am thankful that we have this opportunity to walk for the unborn children.

Once we started having more children, we keep telling them that:

"A person is a person, no matter how small."

-Dr. Seuss

If our presence there changes the mind of even one person, then it is all worth it.

Life begins at conception, there is NO doubt in my mind,

I am strong in my faith and believe that all pregnancies happen for a reason.

Everyone of them is a person being formed for survival in the world as we know it here, but even

more so that person is being made ready to spend eternity in Heaven with our Creator.

Without Him, nothing is possible.

He knows what is best for us all every moment of every day of our life.

We must not get into the mind frame of, abortion is okay in certain circumstances...that is false.

How can you even think of KILLING another person, let alone an unborn CHILD?!?

Respect Life, Respect God, Chose Life and Chose God.

The ultrasound pictures here show Timothy in utero during the 3-D ultrasound, you will notice he is sucking his thumb, sticking his tongue out and his eye is open...

what more can you say, but it is a baby, that is a PERSON!

open eye.

sucking the thumb

sticking out the tongue.

Psalm 139:13-14

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

God bless you!
