Tears of Joy

Last week on Good Friday I showed up with my signs and heart to spread love and hope . Within a few moments , the guard arrived with his Colt 45 positioned on his hip and his commanding voice to intimidate me not to stop cars arriving and leaving the abortion mill. I prayed , smiled and gave him an Easter blessing and asked, “are you going to Church for Easter?”

He nodded, yes, I said, good!

I continued to pray my rosary for quite sometime, giving literature out with smiles while holding my baby dress in my other hand .

After an hour or so, I was ready to leave but felt a prompting to keep praying . I thought, Jesus the least I can do , is push thru my tiredness. I chose to stay and not give into my sleepiness.( little to no sleep the night before).

Towards the end of my rosary , a car pulls in with a young woman and young man , I make eye contact with the woman, she looks at my loving sign, “mommy I love you !, please let me live…” and I held up the baby dress and said thru their rolled up windows, “for your baby.”

An adorable baby dress is worth 1000 words! 😊He parked their car and did not leave. I prayed even more . Please Lord, please give them love for their baby! 5 min passes. The car is still parked. I held up a sign, your baby smiles at 12 weeks.

The miracle happens . I put my sign back in the grass and to my joy and amazement, He is backing up his car and leaving the mill! As their car approaches, I make eye contact and she puts her hands in her face and I could see the tears flowing from her eyes. Tears of joy as she chose life for her baby!! Before she could roll down the window, her boyfriend quickly turned the corner.

Say a prayer for all young women in a crisis pregnancy and for this courageous woman who on Good Friday ,she chose the good, the true and the right! Praise God indeed!
