Why My Child Lord?

April 11, 2016 by autismblessings 3 Comments

Call to me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.   Jeremiah 33:3 Sometimes we say, "Why me Lord?"  When we struggle we may question many things. With our children with various challenges coming at them daily you may have asked yourself, "Why my child Lord?" I am going to let out a little secret here ... I am nearing 50 in the next several … [Read more...]

Joy in the Mundane

March 18, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 9 Comments

A friend asked me how my family was doing. I said all was status quo, nothing exciting, no ups, no downs. We haven't had any bad days or really exciting things to report. Today was just ... today. Sounds kind of boring to the outsider. But actually, we have so much joy in the mundane. There was a time you would find us at the soccer fields with one of our boys. Occasionally, it could feel like … [Read more...]

Seeds of Hope

March 9, 2016 by Kathleen Bolduc 1 Comment

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5 What is hope?  What gives me hope in the midst of despair? I hope for spring in the midst of winter, unable to see the mysterious workings of nature deep underground.  I’m powerless in the face of my need for spring.  I can’t control the seasons.  And yet I have faith, borne in hope, that the breeze will … [Read more...]

I Am “Just” A Special Needs Mom

February 19, 2016 by Stephanie McKeever 6 Comments

The doctor asked me what it is I "do." I answered, "I'm just a mom." He went on to berate me on my value and said I should never say I'm "just" a mom. He said it is the most important job for women. So I asked, "What does your wife do?" "She's a nurse." <crickets> I had to wonder what happened to those noble thoughts on stay at home mothering. Of course, maybe there was more to their story. … [Read more...]

When Quitting Is Exactly What Our Kids Need Us to Do

February 15, 2016 by Cindi Ferrini 2 Comments

Sometimes I wanted to quit. Sometimes I actually did! I recall trying to teach Joey the colors red and white with towels I hung on the bathroom towel rack across from the toilet. While he sat to go to the bathroom, we would practice knowing his colors. NOT! For months and months I did this. For months he wasn’t potty trained (until after age 5, actually!) and he didn’t know his colors for a lot … [Read more...]
