Rosey Baby...



The handmade community is particularly suited to building up the culture of life. Why? Because all artists/crafters know the difference between a disposable (cheap) box store item and a product that is the product of love and time and care...The work of our own hands. It is a question of Value. And the WalMart item is more likely to be viewed as disposable...We can get another for a buck. The handmade item is often irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind, and made with much attention and love.

God doesn't create throw-away babies. They are His precious handiwork. One-of-a-kind, not mass-produced. He wants us to appreciate and love His babies, to care for them gently and uphold their beauty for generations to come.

A few months ago, I stumbled upon this darling pro-life onsie from Rosey Baby. The shop announcement reads: Rosey Baby...Expressing that Every Life is a Miracle!

Well done, Rosey Baby! Thanks for sharing your blessings with us!

Beginnings...

This blog began as a little nudge in the back of my soul that told me I wasn't doing enough to speak up for the unborn. When President Obama took office and immediately began implementing the anti-life policies that he promised he would, that nudge became an uncomfortable pinch...And then a shove...And then a shout!

It is my hope to use this medium as a way to build up a culture of Life using the gifts that God has given us in the work of our hands. 'Handmade' has an overlooked and underestimated value in the building up of a healthy culture. It is perhaps somewhat similar to the way that life has become a throwaway commodity. We use and toss...

But the work of our own hands has value that can't be purchased at a big box store. How much more value has the work of the hands of the Creator of Life itself?

I pray that the direction this simple work goes will be directed by His hand. I dedicate it to the Divine Artist. Let us begin!
