My first time at planned parenthood

Day 6

Even though I have prayed in front of an abortion clinic, I found my first time in front of Planned Parenthood a bit daunting. I arrived a bit late due to traffic, but there was a lovely few people already there praying. As I said my rosary, I couldn’t help but just stare at the building. I couldn’t fathom that such horrific events as abortion could occur within those walls of the purple decorated building. I looked up into they sky, hoping for something from God to remind me that He was truly present, despite the place that stood before me. I saw rays of sunshine beaming through the clouds onto the center and recalled that wherever there is darkness, there shall be light. I can imagine the guardian angels of all the mothers and little lives inside dancing around nearby, ready and willing to hold their hands to heaven. I thank God for the chance to be a witness of His love for life and pray that the mothers see how much He loves them and their unborn child.
