The Laughter of Children at Play

Matthew 18:5 “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.”

Our offices are right beside an elementary school. It just so happens that all three of our granddaughters have gone there. Gabie, the oldest, is now in college and her sister, Rachael, is in high school. Janae is 11 years old and the youngest, and is going into her last year at the elementary school: sixth grade. I remember how we used to just walk across the school yard and bring them back to the office if any of them needed to be picked up after school. I will miss those journeys.

I love hearing the children on the playground with their joyful sounds and I love parking my car facing the school, knowing that there are children there whose lives have been saved from abortion.

Life is full of present moments and memories of days gone by. It also contains those moments when we realize that some things are bigger than we are. When I think of the children within the school’s walls who have been saved from abortion, I wonder what life would have been like without these children.

I may not know the children personally, but nonetheless they are there and will become adults someday. One of them could possibly change the world, be an incredible mother or father, or teach school…the list could go on and on.

Across the country there are children sitting in schools who have been saved from abortion. It is possible that we had a small part in saving that child’s life because of our training and materials. Will you join me in prayer for these children and their mothers? By praying, you will be a part of life saving as well!

As you go about your daily life, listen for the laughter of children at play. It will bless your day!
