The rubber has met the road here on what being pro-life looks like.
I lead a small group, and one of the women has 4 children: 1 school age, 3 preschool down to 4 month old. I received a message from her that she was "taking a break" from church and from our homeschool support group. I was alarmed, and because we're in a discipleship type of relationship, I kinda knew she was having real problems managing her life.
That was last week.
This week and moving forward, she's getting my Tuesday mornings. I come over and play with her 2 middle boys while oldest daughter works independently on homeschool stuff, and mom takes care of baby (who is still taking a morning nap) and gets other tasks done. Today she paid bills, made doctors appointments and basically got the planning of her life under control. In the meantime, I'm building relationship with the next generation, building forts, holding a jumping contest and trying to fix toys
.
Mom thought this was a one-time thing. As I left I said "I'll see you next Tuesday". She was astounded. I said, I'm in this with you. This is what body life (being in a church) and being pro-life should look like.
