ShareLife - Second Sunday of Lent
Together we can continue to work WONDERS...
The Wonder of Life ...
“When I went to the Rose, it seemed like all the feelings of
guilt, failure and remorse went away. I grew stronger and
felt in my heart that choosing life was the best decision. It
was relieving to see other moms being wonderful parents
and getting ahead at the same time. Now I am a confident
mother. My child is growing healthy and strong. I am
graduating next year and will be going to college. I know
life will never be easy, but through the Rose, I have
support.”
[Jill, found help for her unborn child at Rose of Sharon, a
ShareLife funded agency for teenaged and single mothers.]
