Is It Just Me?

I have one question today.

Has anyone out there ever been told (to their face) that someone would have aborted them if they belonged to them? I've now been told 5 times in my lifetime that if given the choice, someone would have aborted me if I was theirs. How revolting! How ignorant! Thank God for being clever enough to drop me in my family... Food for thought.

Well, Mandy, that makes me want to puke that someone could be so horrific to say that to you. And you know I have a very strong stomach. Sorry there are nerds without a brain in this world. And I for one am so unbeleivably glad you are in the fam.

Press on, dear one.

The mentality of a deceived, depraved mind speaks such utter wickedness, Mandy.

You are a wonderful, bright, compassionate, and wise young woman, who ministers powerfully and effectively in His name.

I never cease to be appalled at the hatefulness and self-centeredness demonstrated by some of our fellow travelers in this life-journey. *Very long, sad sigh.....*

"But now, this is what the Lord says - he who created you, O Jacob; he who formed you, O Israel:

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name. YOU ARE MINE...Since you are PRECIOUS and HONORED in my sight and because I LOVE YOU, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life...[You] whom I created for my GLORY, whom I formed and made." (Isaiah 43:1, 4, 7b)

Hear the truth in these words: You are LOVED. Precious and Honored. Created By God for his Glory. You are no mistake.

Mandy,

I love you.

I am so proud to be your cousin.

I have deep respect for you.

I am amazed by you.

I want to someday have half the courage you have.

My life is many times richer because you are in it.

I love you.

Greg

SICK! I know I have never commented before but that is just ludicrous!!! Do people even take a minisecond to think before speaking? Do they realize what a horrific thing they have just said and then repent and grovel? Well, Mandy from what I hear you are an amazing gift in this world! I think it just shows an amazing shallowness and distorted perception of humanity that people think and say things that you have had to listen to.

Well, you know my favorite approach to situations like these...

Think of come-backs!

Them: I would have aborted.

You: Gee, I didn't think men could get pregant.
