I can’t help but smile remembering the boxes of candy hearts that I gave and received in my childhood.  Each year it was the same, I’d search through the box looking for the perfect message, my favorite was the heart that said, “Be Mine.” 

 

It makes me wonder what our messages would read if The Women’s Clinic were to give a box of candy hearts.  Ours would be imprinted, “Love Lives Here,” “Healing Inside,” “All Welcome,” “Hope.”  I could make a list as long as my arm of what we would write on hearts to give our clients, but at the core our message is love.   

 

The love of God compels us, nudging us to share light in the darkness and to reach out to women with truth.  We bring a message to the hurting that there is healing available and that there is hope in the midst of what seems unbearable. 

 

While our logo may be green, and if you’ve been inside the clinic, you know the walls are a soothing mint, our hearts beat red with passion and love for the unborn and hurting women and men alike. 

 

This month, as you share your candy hearts with your children, friends and colleagues, why not share real hope - the message of love of The Women’s Clinic of Columbus.  Your words could save a life.

Loving Life!
