40 Days for Life - FORT WORTH, TEXAS
When Theresa arrived at the 40 Days for Life vigil, the parking lot at Planned Parenthood was full.
"We saw several women leave after their abortion," she said, "and one in particular really struck a chord within me. A young girl being escorted by her parents was holding her abdomen and crying. I immediately felt overwhelmed and began crying for her and her aborted baby as I prayed for God's mercy."
Shortly afterward, another car pulled in. But no one got out. Theresa and the others at the vigil just kept praying.After about 10 minutes, the car began to leave. The woman in the car smiled, waved to the volunteers, and said, "I'm keeping my baby!"
"We all thanked the Lord for saving this innocent life," Theresa said. "I gave Him a special thank you for giving us the gift knowing we made a difference."
