Today I asked Jael if she knew what abortion was; she said, “No!”
So, I decided to tell her, but I didn’t go into any detail or try to sway her opinion.
This was our conversation:
“Abortion is when a mommy goes into the doctor to tell him she doesn’t want the baby in her tummy any more.”
You should have HEARD the air sucked out of my car.
I never told her what I believed. She immediately said that "God would be so sad at that"; Abishai said that "God would cry."
Now, keep in mind they are 6 and 4, I didn’t tell them anything about death or what happens to those innocent lives. They just KNEW within themselves that to say--you didn’t want a baby in your tummy, MUST make God VERY sad.
At this point I really just agreed with them, but I still added nothing; Jael talked about how adoption would make God happy. That he doesn’t want babies to die!!!!
Now, WHERE DID SHE GET DEATH?????
The INNOCENCE of a child is SO TELLING.
As a child of God when we feel something is wrong, there is a tug in our spirits. Will we listen?
