This month marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
At lot of attention will be focused on abortion and the
results. Statistics will be broadcast of how many babies have died due to this
Supreme Court ruling.
Yes, the babies are the victims.
But so are the parents. While many will say they are fine, the truth is post-abortion stress syndrome lies deep within the soul.
This week's post is written by Miya Hunter-Willis. Miya and I met through the Flourish Writers Community. We can learn a lot about how far kindness can go and what an example we can be as Titus 2 women to anyone we meet through this touching story she shares.
Roman philosopher Lucius Anneas Seneca once said, “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” Well, my journey toward being kinder started with a dog. That’s right, a dog! One day, a bristly-haired terrier found her way to my yard, tempted by the scent of white-tailed deer and cottontails. Moments later, my doorbell rang.
Do you ever feel as if you are simply a number in the mass
population of this world? With over 7 billion people occupying this planet,
it’s easy to feel insignificant. We may struggle with what purpose we have or
what can we as one person do to make any difference.
We may have read John 3:16 over and over and know that God loved the world so much He gave us Jesus. But we may struggle with how much we matter to Him as individuals.

The Bible tells us wise men from the east came to worship the Christ Child with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. While Herod was searching for the the young King of the Jews to murder Him, Persian men from a non-Jewish background came to bow before the young Jesus in worship.

| A heavenly Christmas card |
by Barbara Latta
The card industry thrives on holidays and Christmas is one of the busiest for sales. From fancy to plain, glittered, glitzy, colorful, and extravagant, Christmas cards are available in any shape or form. In our technological world, some prefer to send e-cards and avoid the postage or paper usage.
Please welcome guest blogger Leigh DeLozier this week. Leigh and I met as members of East Metro Atlanta Christian Writers and we are now connected through Word Weavers. She is a talented writer and lives a life that shines as a Titus 2 woman. Leigh shares with us through her experience as an author and writer and her knowledge of Bible study. Please connect with Leigh through her website and the social media links in her bio below.

The older I get, the
more I’m learning to appreciate living in the moment and soaking things in
instead of always having my phone or camera at the ready to snap pictures or
record what’s happening. It’s taken me a long time to get to this point, but I
think it’s often a good place to be.
Maybe that’s why one verse tucked into Luke’s version of what we know as the Christmas story is especially resonating with me this year:

| Love the gift that keeps on giving |
by Barbara Latta
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16 NKJV).
John 3:16 is
probably the most familiar verse in the Bible. It is printed on cards, cups,
plaques, banners, hats, and shirts. This scripture shows us God’s heart and is
the gift that keeps on giving.
The danger of
familiarity is that the words can lose their meaning.
Nicodemus, a
member of the Sanhedrin, but one who sought the truth, had a difficult time
understanding what Jesus told him. He viewed the words from a physical, human
perspective. But God’s words are always spirit and truth.
What does John 3:16 really mean?
