There were 119 people standing in solidarity in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Sunday, October 2, silently proclaiming the sacred dignity and value of each human life. We quietly prayed for one hour interceding for our nation to end the scourge of abortion. (These photos show the view from my point in the middle of the chain--top photo looking east and bottom photo looking west.)
It was a beautiful day with just a few clouds. The temperatures were warm and the winds were calm. The hour flew by and I was grateful to be part of this annual event. LifeChain began in 1987 in one location in Yuba City, California. This year it took place in approximately 1,600 communities across the country. Our society is blessed to have people willing to be a public witness for the cause of life.
After preaching at four of the six Masses over the weekend, attending LifeChain, and visiting yesterday evening with a couple of family members who stopped in to see us on their way back to Missouri, I was tired and looked forward to a good night's sleep in preparation for a new week. As the sun rose this morning and I stepped outside to enjoy the view, I realized just how blessed I am.
My encouragement to you today is simple. Spend a little time offering prayers of gratitude to God for the blessings in your life.
