I’m reflecting today on one stunning thought. The world was different this week. We forgot our compulsion with winning, wooing, and warring. We looked out toward the star of Bethlehem. More than in any other season, his name was on our lips.

And the result? For a few precious hours our heavenly yearnings intermeshed and we became a chorus. “Come and behold him” we sang, stirring even the sleepiest of shepherds and pointing them toward the Christ-child. Immanuel. He is with us. God came near.

Soon December’s generosity will become January’s payments, and the magic will begin to fade. I want to savor the spirit just a bit more. To pray that those who beheld him today will look for him next August.  How much more could we do if we thought of him every day.

Across the United States, pro-life pregnancy resource centers now outnumber brick-and-mortar abortion facilities by more than four to one. Recent data shows there are nearly 2800 pregnancy centers offering ultrasounds, counseling, diapers, parenting classes, and material support, compared to about 650 abortion facilities still operating nationwide.

Pregnancy centers exist to help women choose life by meeting real needs, not by profiting from the death of unborn children. They walk alongside mothers in crisis, offering compassion, truth, and practical help, often at no cost and without pressure.

Sadly, as physical abortion facilities continue to close amidst funding cuts, the total number of abortions continues to rise due to the dangerous abortion pill. It is essential that women know that there is hope and help waiting for them at pregnancy resource centers.
