Dec. 24th - 25th
Christmas is, perhaps, the most important Pro-Life holiday we can celebrate.
The entire season is built on the innately Pro-Life belief that generosity, love, and the joy of helping others should be everyone's second nature. But, more than the spirit of the season, this holiday specifically celebrates the one unplanned pregnancy that definitively proved that no child is a mistake and every life has an amazing purpose no matter the circumstances of its conception.
As odd as it is to consider, the birth of Jesus Christ was unplanned (at least by man) and yet it was one of the most important historical events to ever occur (second only to the death and resurrection of Christ at Easter). Knowing this, it should be the goal of every Pro-Lifer (during the holiday season and after) to exemplify those qualities that speak to our love of life and gratitude that Christ gave us all a chance at new life in Him.
We know the reason for the season so let's live it out unashamedly, loving others with the love of Christ, and powerfully declaring that God always has a plan and we can be part of it.
