National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2009

It's still freezing here in the northeast and the Lord decided to bless us with snow again. Sometimes it's hard to endure our blessings LOL ...I surely do look forward to the warmer, sunnier days so I guess these days make me appreciate those warmer, sunnier days even more.

I am only jumping in here for a minute today. I just wanted to share a presidential proclamation from this week.

It is almost 36 years since the passing of Roe v. Wade the Court Order that changed our society in so many ways. (I believe the ripple effect is much greater than people realize -- much greater than just the abortion issue -- life in general is no longer respected).

On January 15, 2009 before leaving office, President Bush issued a proclamation making today National Sanctity of Life Day. We may not see such a proclamation from the White House again with the "Changes" that are expected.

You can read the entire proclamation HERE, but I am posting the first paragraph below:

All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world. We also underscore our dedication to heeding this message of conscience by speaking up for the weak and voiceless among us.

The Lord commands us to pray for our leaders. I ask all of you to pray for the heart and the wisdom of our soon-to-be President Obama.

We also need to pray for our country as a whole as well and all the issues our people are experiencing. In particularly, there are several family and friends that are searching for employment -- this is a bad time to be out of work. Any prayers are appreciated.

Stay Warm. HUGS
