My wife and I once took into our home a young lady who was going through an unexpected pregnancy. She made arrangements to have her child adopted by a Christian couple.

When the baby arrived, I got to spend some time with that precious, beautiful girl in the hospital. I remember holding her on my chest while she slept. Our hearts beat together, and I was filled with joy to experience being a small part of helping that newborn have a good, safe start in life.

We kept in touch with the adoptive parents, and about five years after her birth, we visited the little girl and her family. The youngster acted shy at first, but she soon warmed up to me, and eventually jumped up into my arms for a big, long hug.

She occupied the exact same position on my chest as she had five years earlier. Once again our hearts beat together, and I felt a rush of pure joy.

I urge you to get involved with the pro-life movement in some significant way. It will do your heart good.
