Proverbs 14:31 ~ honors HIM

Proverbs 14:31

Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, 

but whoever is kind 

to the needy honors Him.

Proverbs 19:17

Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, 

and He will repay the lender.

Last night, we were watching the Vice Presidential Debate and everything gets upset, raucous and just in twisted knots when Health Care meets Abortion.

 And I realized I had some insight I wanted to share.

In September of 2008,

 Edward and I wound up in Houston's largest Abortion Clinic. 

We could call this:

The Day Anne Laurel and Edward were in the Abortion Clinic.

This is our life story and may not be one you want to read. 

It is your choice, if you want to know and read these events, forming our opinions.

Our daughter Isabelle was conceived as a complete surprise. I was 44 years old at conception and 45 years old in the Abortion Clinic. Not because we wanted an Abortion. Thrilled to have another and surprise Child.  We had been sent by our very kindly and Christian ObGyn because Isabelle had been found, at week 26 or 28, to be fatally built with Trisomy DNA. We had been sent to the Largest Fertility Clinic in Houston to discuss with an expert PhD, MD, in fertility about the complexities of a Trisomy Birth at age 45. 

Upon Arrival, we realized we were in the most eclectic group of people we had ever seen. And this was not simply a Fertility Clinic. The waiting room held 200 to 150 people and to see the check in process, the 12 intake people, were literally behind bulletproof glass. I kid you not. And once you proved your identity by Driver License, then you paid.  No further questions were asked until payment was rendered. Now fill the form out, put in the basket to go behind the empty portion of the Bulletproof glass and slide in the answers. Then wait. How long?  A shrug, this is an emergency facility and the people in crisis would be dealt with as time allows.

Plenty of Police or Security on hand.

We had plenty of time to see, they hired surrogates, where to go to sit for IVF. You can fill in a questionnaire about surrogacy or become one.  Ask about AIDS.  And the ages ran the whole range. Some people cried. Some looked fearful. Some angry. It made the ER look tame. The elevator did have all kinds of advertisements.

GOOD NEWS

And Some People looked Thrilled to be a Surrogate

Some People were Thrilled to have IVF

Some People were Thrilled to Meet their Surrogate

Some People were Thrilled to Find out they ARE PREGNANT

This is probably like the first line in Heaven.

Hello, you are dead. 

Let's delve to your appropriate place.  

Everyone is all in. Literally. 

I learned this that day:

• If you want an abortion, go to Kansas, it is the freebie anything goes zone. 
• Too bad, it's only $200 dollars, be an adult. It's an airplane ticket.
• Ohhhh, you can claim medical reason. Ok, when do you want to schedule the abortion. Sure, 28 to 31 weeks. Easier on the fetus to die swiftly, than suffer.

"Honey, you want me as PhD, MD to deliver this child, if you want to go to delivery. Because the Amniotic Fluid surrounding Trisomy is lethal to the mother."

"Your ObGyn has referred you to me, he doesn't want the trauma of a delivery like this. I'm trained. I suggest an Abortion. Your delivery is complex, and it is not going to run to $10g, but instead more like $16 to $22g for complications and more nurses. I earn the big dollars to deal with the big problems."

She had on the most expensive gold necklace James Avery sells, a sunburst. Huge. "Yep, James Avery, she said, I earn the big bucks to deal with the big problems."

Back to our Kindly, Older, Christian ObGyn. We were, let's say, beyond numb to furious, having been sent to the Abortion Dr. 

We learned that day, from our ObGyn:

1. Fertility Clinics offer a wide range of services. 
2. He didn't know they had bulletproof glass and take payment first.
3. Yes, (2008) with a medical condition, anything can be labelled a medical condition to abort. At any age.  Without shrinking from it.
4. Why didn't everyone like this go to Kansas.  The Doctor said, pause, because it is basically more convenient. 
5. Fertility Doctors, mostly, are practical and see any phase of any pregnancy as medical. Health Care.

It was the first time I saw doctors contradict each other entirely. Abortions are Business. 

1. The PhD MD had lied. The ObGyn wanted to deliver our baby at the price we were told in the beginning. She had not had communication from him.
2.  Our Doctor had never heard of Trisomy causing fatal Amniotic Fluid. Ever.

We finally got home after a very long day. 

So sad for Isabelle not to run and play and be loved by the family so eager to have her born. She was not moving much.  God Bless Isabelle every day.

It was a Friday. I would learn this by Monday:

Abortion Discussions are not Private or Taboo. People jump in where smart Angels would fear to tread. 

Over the weekend, I would have a family member call me 3 times to beg me to abort Isabelle. The first reason was, I would ruin my body for a dead baby. C'mon, I looked like a VW Bug. Handicapped child Amniotic Fluid.

By the 3rd time, I yelled, "I won't kill my daughter and NEVER ASK ME TO AGAIN." This baby loved to kick and play inside my body.

We had a far-flung, longtime Client ask Edward to speak to me. I took the call and she burst into tears. Her only daughter, at age 32, had been told to abort a Trisomy child to avoid the head, too large, tearing her apart. She did, but the abortion nicked her womb and the Amniotic Fluid killed her daughter at age 32. She begged me not to abort.  We had a nice conversation about Heaven. (A very rare complication, we, of course, asked our Doctor.)

Lots of calls that were sad and neutral.

What I learned in the decades.

Our first child, our son, was born at 31 weeks gestation. He weighed 5 pounds and looked like an NFL baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care.  Many tiny human babies look like little squirrels when they weigh 1 pound. I know people who weighed 2 pounds at birth and now are 60 years old with many children.

When you volunteer for years at ProLife

You learn 

people want to talk about 

Prior Abortions and God's Mercy

That Planned Parenthood

lied to them about miscarriages

in this pregnancy

their finances

how many people they sleep with

and why

If they had been played for a goose

What Statistics Say

HOW CAN THEY BE HAPPIER

HOW TO REDUCE COSTS FOR BIRTH

What I'd Like You

to Take Away

from this Post

I am for Babies

I am for MOMS and Dads

I am for 

vastly reduced 

Birth Costs

Abortion is scary

and it doesn't just fade away

A Large NUMBER of people will want counseling

THEY want to know Mercy

I am for IVF

with adoption for viable embryos

helping for costs

I am for 

FOSTERING CHILDREN

and

ADOPTION

 

I would have people

reconsider their choices

States should decide

Kansas is 2 hours and $200.

If Planned Parenthood is all that

they should help instead of roadblock. 

Planned Parenthood

should be 

Honest 

and not tell women that

worry would cause miscarriage anyway.

And this is a lifelong choice.

In a perfect world, they would send the 

mother to ProLife about Help Available.

If Choice is Choice

then send Mothers

to see Pro Life

before a lifelong decision.

We have family members

who had abortions.

It is a sad thing and hurts people.

God is Open Hearted.

Luke 9:52-56 ~ make preparations for HIM

 

Luke 9:52-56

 52 And He sent messengers ahead of Him

Who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for Him. 

53 But the people did not receive Him, because His Face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when His Disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?” 

But He turned and rebuked them. 

56 And they went on to another village.

Jesus is inclusive. Light of the world.  Jesus seeks to save. 

No one is like Jesus Christ. Elijah called down fire on the wood, soaked with water, and the fire killed the Baal priests. 

The Samaritans want Jesus to stay and be the God of the maligned. Victory for Samaritans.  James and John want Jesus to be within the Words of the Law. And within their own understanding.  Victory for the Sons of Thunder.  Fire from the Cloud. Victory for Thunder. 

Case in point for, "Thy Will Be Done."

Jesus is the Word made Manifest. Jesus wants the Samaritans, James and John and the Light of God in mankind to be welcome at His Table.  The people see the door shut with a victorious slam. Jesus sees the path a head. Solutions. Possibilities. Gather at the table. 

Jesus goes to another town. 

He is leading the way for a more stable future, where Love has a place, a plan, for faith, hope and Love.

The Vice President Debates were the very first foot forward in reducing the one voice, one opinion of Cold War.  Finding the common goal and being honest. Truthful. Genuine. A parent with children knowing exactly what the upcoming generation wants to live and bring to their children.

We all want the nod of Worldwide Peace and common goals.

John 14:27 

Peace I leave with you; 

my peace I give to you. 

Not as the world gives do I give to you. 

Let not your hearts be troubled, 

neither let them be afraid.

John 16:33 

I have said these things to you, 

that in me you may have peace. 

In the world you will have tribulation. 

But take heart; 

I have overcome the world.

John 8:12 

 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 

“I am the Light of the world. 

Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, 

but will have the Light of Life.”

John 1:5 

The Light shines in the darkness, 

and the darkness has not overcome it.

Psalm 119:105

 

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet 

and 

A Light to my path.

1 John 1:7

If we walk in the Light, 

as He is in the Light, 

we have fellowship with one another, 

and the blood of Jesus his Son 

cleanses us from all sin.

1 Peter 2:9

 

But you are a chosen race, 

a royal priesthood, 

a holy nation, 

a people for His own possession, 

that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him 

Who called you 

out of darkness 

into His Marvelous Light.

Matthew 5:16 

In the same way, let your Light 

shine before others,

 so that they may see your good works 

and give glory to your Father 

Who is in Heaven.

Longue Vue was established in 1921 as the family home of Edith Rosenwald Stern and Edgar Bloom Stern. In 1980, the family bequeathed the entire eight-acre property to become a nonprofit museum and public garden. Longue Vue is open to the public year-round for tours, programs, picnics, and retreats and is committed to cultivating a space of welcome and belonging for all.

The eye of Hurricane Katrina went over Longue Vue in 2005. I was watching Monty Don this week, exploring American Gardens. Longue Vue's Head Gardener said they had 7 full-time gardeners before Katrina. And 2 after Katrina, due to Housing flooded. In 2 years, they knew recovery. In 7 years, they saw "full" Recovery.  All 42 Oaks survived the river running through Longue Vue with diligent care.
