The Remarkable Soul of a Woman

Its down to the last two days of the month and I had been wanting to find some special gifts for some of my friends that I visit with each month and came across this book.

I was able to write to each one of them a special note in the front of this book. I felt that each one of them needed to feel loved by me through this book. Its a very quick read and one I could read each day to be reminded of my special role.

One friend in particular has had many life experiences and has had quite the life and I have enjoyed getting to know her and her personality. I stopped off for 10 minutes to give it to her and to have a little small talk and then we said our goodbyes.

The next day she called me. The conversation went a little like this:

"That book you gave me yesterday saved my best friend from having an abortion today!"

I had to have her repeat what she had told me. I was shocked! I began to ask more details and how this all had happened. She explained that as she was driving her friend to the doctor appointment to have an abortion, her friend asked her about the book that she had in the car.

Then her friend begins to read it and began to cry and told her that she wasn't going to go through with it anymore. WOW! I knew that I was inspired to give that book to my friend and that my friend was an instrument in the Lord's hands to help that woman know her true value.

It just goes to show you that the Lord does have a hand in all that we do and it also reminds us just what is important in life. It is a life of a baby! Its the most beautiful experience a woman can have to carry a special spirit and to bring it to this earth and cherish it.

This experience that she shared with me taught me to recognize the hand of God in my life and how if we "pay attention" and recognize all the little things, that you don't think matter, it can bless lives.

I encouraged her to write down this experience that she had with her friend and to hold on to those memories tightly because life throws us some fast balls and if we aren't armed and ready to catch them they will whack us hard and bring us down.

That's why I felt the need to share this with you and I hope that each of us will recognize our own little trials and blessings in life because we don't know if we will be the one that will help another and maybe even be a part of saving a precious baby's life!

Wow! I'm still shocked!
