Words of Wisdom

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order: the continuous thread of revelation.”

Thoughts on the Octo-Mom


It seems that everyone has an opinion about the octo-mom, and most of those opinions are negative. One opinion I have yet to hear anyone mention is the fact that regardless of what you think of the mother, those eight babies were created by God and He has placed special purposes within each of them. Whether or not it is ethical that a doctor would implant so many embryos, regardless of the low statistics that all of those embryos would survive, the point is that those eight babies are human beings. Their lives are worth something. God allowed the process to work out, and those eight babies, along with their brothers and sisters at home, are all gifts from God and He has planned for their life to make this start from the beginning of time and their futures are in His hands.
