Hope

I read this article yesterday, but it wasn't the word "abortion" that stopped me in my tracks.  It was the lack of the word "hope".  I couldn't understand how this mother was willing to give up any chance for a miracle. It didn't make sense.  How can someone be completely devoid of hope at a time like this?
Then I found this article.

I am completely inspired by this woman's faith and hope in a time of great sorrow, and I'm more inspired by God's grace and compassion. However, I can't help but feel for the women who give up so easily.  When times get hard, no matter how much I want to just lay in bed and give up, I am always the person who refuses to do so.  I know God is watching out for me, and in his guidance and love I can to anything and get through everything life throws at me. I pray that this first woman and everyone else will someday find that hope in Christ and always look for the miracles in every situation.
