For such a time as this......

Mark Pickup is a good blog and on my reading list. Today's post was especially touching.
He proudly recounts how his wife stole the show at a recent joint appearance of the National Right to Life conference.

"We dealt with abortion and post abortion grief (we killed our first child by abortion in 1971). We spoke from our personal experiences about the suffering and grief of serious degenerative disability (multiple sclerosis) and how such conditions impact not only individuals but their families. (Unresolved grief often fuels consideration of assisted suicide and euthanasia.)"

Mark  is the one with  multiple sclerosis.  His wife, LaRee spoke from the heart about the abortion, post abortion grief , being the caregiver, how hard it is to watch a  loved one degenerate, their honest feelings about being angry at God .
What  spoke to me is that we often have secret feelings when things go wrong in our life that God is punishing us for past sins, even confessed sins and a feeling of betrayal that goes along with it.

" It seems that LaRee's life experiences have come together for a time such as this."

I agree
