Embrace Them

Episode Summary

You choose life when you reach out to families raising a child with disabilities and remind them they are not walking this road alone.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. In Deuteronomy 30, God says, “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life.” As Christians, we are to choose life, to be “pro-life.” But to be pro-life is to care not only about what happens to that unborn baby in his mother's womb; a pro-life perspective extends to helping that child once he’s born with a disability. So many kids are born with disabilities, and for many moms and dad’s life changes drastically—they become socially isolated, financially strapped, and fearful of the future. But friend, this is an opportunity to show what being pro-life is all about. So please, reach out and embrace these mothers, fathers, and kids with special needs. Today, visit joniandfriends.org and learn how you can choose life by being pro-life from the delivery room to the special-needs classroom.
