Hot Chocolate x 2

While praying outside an abortion mill this morning a father and daughter drove up in front of me.

Then they handed out hot chocolate to myself and my friends.

I don't know who you are, but THANK YOU SO MUCH!

An hour or so later, a man drove up...

hopped out of his car...

and gave us all some more hot chocolate.

THANK YOU!!!

I don't really know what to say other than that it is so humbling when others take the time and money to let you know that they support what you're doing.

I know that standing with signs on a cold day isn't for everyone and that people often want to know what other things they can do to participate in promoting a Culture of Life.

I will tell you that it's the little things that can really make a big difference. So much of one's involvement in the pro-life movement is consumed by presenting the pro-life position to people who have great distain for you. When someone does show sincere charity towards you, the charity bolsters your resolve to keep on with the message. (I once watched a man pull his car over, take out his wallet, and hand all the cash he had in his wallet to my friend ($200) in order for the money to go to the pro-life cause. Then the man drove away.)

For the 10 year old (don't know really know her age) girl that was with her father who bought us the hot-chocolate...that girl will now have an internalized understanding of her parent's views on the dignity of human life because of having participated in this small way than after any conversation the parents could ever have with her.

In her father showing charity to us, he in fact demonstrated to his daughter that he will be there for her no matter what...

and that, is truly pro-life.
