You may not know it, but today is National Sanctity of Human Life Day.
The official Proclamation regarding this day opens by saying:
Every human life is a gift to the world. Whether born or unborn, young or old, healthy or sick, every person is made in the holy image of God. The Almighty Creator gives unique talents, beautiful dreams, and a great purpose to every person. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we celebrate the wonder of human existence and renew our resolve to build a culture of life where every person of every age is protected, valued, and
cherished.
The Proclamation goes on to specifically address the horror of abortion and the need to protect the most vulnerable of our society -- the unborn.
Yet the emphasis on the value of each person also extends to everyone God has given life, making this a great day to...
... protect the unborn
... love those God has put in your midst
... and embrace the call God has put on your own life to serve Him.
