WE VALUE THE GIFT OF LIFE -FOUR WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION
Dear Spiritual Friends, three weeks and one day after my life started at conception, my heart started to beat. It is too quiet to hear, but God knows it is beating. With the right equipment the contractions of my heart can be seen. My eyes are forming and my limbs are growing, too. I am 10,000 times bigger than I was at conception. “Thus says the Lord who made you, your help, who
formed you from the womb; fear not ...” (Isaiah 44:2)
