The Hand of Hope

 I got up this morning feeling good. AFter my morning prayer, I immediately checked my email.  What I got is the picture below. I didn't read what was written below the picture but when I saw the picture I automatically said to myself it was so GROSS! So I skip that part of  my email and checked the other emails and deleted some. But part of my subconscious says to look at it again. So I did without looking again the picture because I feel nga na yucky tingnan (para kasing bloody2x). When I started to read what was written, tears flowed from my eyes. It was  the best picture and miracle indeed. When I closely look at the picture it was a tiny hands from a baby or fetus. It is life!!!!! Here is the picture I like to share.....

                                   A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The  Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the  Decade." It won't be.   In fact, unless you obtained a  copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's  mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta .  She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure.  Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville ,  he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via  C-section and makes  a small incision to operate on the  baby.  As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger.  Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his  life, and that for an instant during the procedure he  was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity.  The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text  explaining the  picture begins, "The tiny hand of  21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the  mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if  thanking the doctor for the gift of life." Little Samuel's mother  said they "wept for days" when they saw the  picture.  She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy  isn't a! bout disability or an illness, it's about a little person."

Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent  successful.

Now see the actual picture, and it is  awesome...incredible....and hey, pass  it on.  The  world needs to see this one!

 
"Before you were formed in the womb, I knew you."  - God      

 

                              After reading and looking closely the whole picture. Tears flowed from my eyes. I dont know but I was just so touched. For me it is a great miracle. And those who are mothers can do vouch for that. I couldn't imagine and comprehend how could a tiny little fellow at the bottom of the mothers womb was able to touch the world. And tell everybody that "hey there's a life here". Thoughts flowed in my mind about people who agree on abortion or being an anti-life. Above is the best example that life begins in conception and everything is given from God including life. I remember in the bible  says Genesis 1:27 "So God created human beings, making them like to be Himself..."

                              like to be Himself! Wow! Isn't it something? Isn't it so wonderful to know that we are made in His image and likeness? The heck with the people who says that they dont believe in God or they dont value life. I don't care and it is their accountability and they will know it in due time. But I hope it will not be too late right? As for so many years, I stand with my two feet grounded I am for pro-life. Do I have to say more?? Nope it is obvious.

Kim...I like d way u see how important life is. I am "Pro-Life" too and if u can see my car...I've got a sticker on my bumper that says...."YOU CAN'T BE BOTH CATHOLIC AND PRO-ABORTION".
