Options

December 3, 2019

Giving Tuesday is almost over. I had never even heard of it till this year when my daughter told me about it. She is the new executive director of our local pro-life pregnancy center, and had registered Options Care Center of Jamestown, NY with the organization. Right out of college, she began teaching high school English, doing so until she decided to be a stay at home mom to her three children and pursue her writing of young adult novels. 

Last year when the director of the local pregnancy care center retired, the organization’s board encouraged her to apply for the position, and the rest is, as they say, history. Most parents are proud of their children, and properly so. I am not only proud, but humbled by her dedication and organizational ability, and thankful that she chose to serve the community in what is an increasingly contentious field. Tonight I am thankful for the woman, wife, mother, and leader our daughter has become, for her passion for the unborn and their mothers, and for the privilege of helping her reach her Giving Tuesday goal for the center.
