What I Learned Through the Deep, Hard Struggles

January 8, 2018 by autismblessings

Lamentations 3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.   I love to start things. I love the challenge. I love to look at things when they are fresh and new and I also like to create things out of nothing. How about … [Read more...]

Just Us

December 18, 2017 by Cindi Ferrini

We have the awesome privilege of getting away together as a couple to speak around the country on the topic of marriage. We love what we get to do, but even so, as we are surrounded by 500-1500 people, we are not alone! We love that we have various ministries in which we are involved, but often we have to divide and conquer (one staying home/one going) in order to be a part of the event. Very … [Read more...]

Capture the Wonder of Every Day

December 8, 2017 by Mike George

A few Sundays ago, I listened to the parable of the ten bridesmaids as it was read in mass. The message to “be prepared” came through loud and clear. On that particular Sunday, though, this gospel reading took on a very different twist. You see, three days prior, my father had passed away at the age of 100. He had lived at home rather independently (with some daily support) up until 12 days … [Read more...]

Love in the Age of Worry

November 1, 2017 by Sarah Parshall Perry

Love in the Age of Worry “He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” – Psalm 91:4 NLT I’d planned to write about Jesse this week. I'd planned a piece about theoretical fear. Jesse is my youngest child, and has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. As He is wont to do, God changed the plan. On a Tuesday … [Read more...]

Why The Older I Get The More I Look to God

October 20, 2017 by Mike George

I have to be honest. After 25 years, the pressures and strain of raising a child with complex disabilities have never gone away. They’re not always top of mind but they remain, nonetheless. Most of the time, these pressures don’t bother me since they’re just a part of my life. But I’m finding that the older I get, the harder life gets. Life isn’t supposed to get harder as you get older. It’s … [Read more...]

Eyes Are the Windows of the Soul

August 16, 2017 by Kathleen Bolduc

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Eyes are the windows of the soul.” Jesus said it a little bit differently:  "The eye is the lamp of the body. You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes. So if your eye is well and shows you what is true, then your whole body will be filled with light." Matthew 6:22 Both sayings makes me think of three … [Read more...]
