I was reading my Cousins' blog today and found a link to a very interesting commercial that I had not heard about. I watched it and it got me thinking.....I've actually been thinking about this for awhile just didn't know if it was something I should "Blog" about. (But then I remembered that this blog is ultimately for me and my family so I want the record to show that I did have an opinion and I wasn't afraid to share it.) Here is the link to the commercial. I'm sure most of you have heard about it already but seeing as most of what I watch everyday is child oriented, I hadn't seen it yet. Take a look.
SuperBowl Commercial you won't see
Interesting, No? Why is the media/NBC so afraid to let everyone have an opinion? Why does the truth, presented in a very tactful, sincere way scare people? I usually don't take the time to make political statements on my blog and this actually isn't one. This is a statement about being Pro-Life (which I see as Religious/Moral not necessarily political). If your new to reading this blog you may not know that our daughter is adopted. That is how WE grow our family. I appreciate and love those who are strong enough and care enough to bring a child into this world and have the courage to admit when they just can't take care for that child and give it a loving home. There are tons of couples who are in our exact position who are willing and able to give those children a good home!
There is also another video that I wanted to share but didn't think too much about it until I saw the above commercial. This video was made by a woman who has an amazing Pro-Life story. It will only take a few minutes of your time and it's well worth it. I had the opportunity to present our adoption story with her at our local High School. She is an amazing person with a beautiful heart. It's people like her that make it possible for Ken & I to even have a family. Take a look....you won't be sorry!
Two points presented very differently but all leading back to the same idea.....it's OK to have traditional family values and to value LIFE!!! It's OK to have to live with difficult choices and to want more for an unborn baby. It's OK to feel hurt and yet see what a blessing your decision could be to couples who can't have a family on their own. We value all of those who have made the choice that is Pro-Life and we look forward to benefiting from someone's courageous choice again in the future.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and mine is not said to offend anyone who differs. I just thought this was all very interesting and worth noting. As time's change and our Country increasingly challenges all that I view as moral and right I am thankful to have a belief in God and to see this life through His eye's. It's the only thing that brings me peace.
