Another gorgeous day in the Skeena Valley! I was at the hospital over the noon hour. Only one man stopped to chat. He asked me what day we are on -- 22 already! He was also asking about Life Chain but that's not until October.
A lady from my church drove by with her husband. He's been receiving chemo at the hospital. Only one day left to go for that! Some people might wonder how cancer treatment shows up on an anti-abortion blog but the thing is - we are totally ProLife, not just pro-birth.
I haven't received any rude hand gestures yet but some people driving by look so sour it's almost scary. I do look forward to the daily hello from the Gitaus bus driver between 12:05 - 12:15.
Sometimes I think the 40 DFL signs might be too neutral. Fr. T. told me he was visiting the hospital one day when one of the nurses told him she'd seen our signs and she said, "It's Lent!" Yes, but that's not why we're there. Last year some of the youth group brought their own signs with their own messages. Please know that if you are coming out to 40 DFL you are welcome to bring your own signs -- or no signs. And if you do bring a sign please make the message positive -- we don't display graphic images or condemning messages. We want people to approach us.
For over 3 weeks we've been praying and it's not over yet. Don't lose heart! Dr. Almas doesn't abort babies all by herself - there are many forces at work here that allow her to do this and our best resource to change things is through prayer.
Then Jesus told his disciples ...that they should always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1
