RIght to Life March...

So, the Lott family went to our first pro-life rally this week.  We have been talking about it for a full year.  We have been talking, explaining and preparing the kiddos for a year.  They were most excited about missing school, I think.  

I was excited for a plethora of reasons.  I wanted the kids to see Emory and I (and his sweet parents) stand up for what we believe in.  I wanted them to see us defending life and not sitting on the sidelines while 55 million babies are being aborted.  I wanted the kiddos to see how you can peacefully stand up for what you believe in, you can do it in a way that honors God.  

I am so thankful that we went, we braved the cold and we stood up for what we believed.  The best part of the whole experience though, may have been the night before...we stayed up late and we made posters.  We made posters as a family and we discussed what they said, what they meant and why they are so important.  It was such a great time of discussion for the kiddos, and they really didn't even realize that we were having a discussion.  That's a win in my book!  

So, we made our signs and we met Emory's parents and we went to Atlanta.  We stood on the capitol steps with our hand - made signs, and we praised God through worship songs and incredible speakers and then we silently marched the streets of Atlanta.  We marched as pro-choicers screamed hateful things at us, they yelled hateful things directed at my 6 small children, and we marched silently with our signs.  It was a great experience, and it will not be the last. 

We were blessed with incredible kiddos...they get it.  They get what we are defending and they want to defend life too.  So very proud of this little family of mine.  Thankful that God chose Emory and I to parent this little brood!
