In Gratitude - SpecialNeedsParenting.net

Read below for a guest post from Mike George. I should have been thankful that Ben slept soundly last night – 10 hours, in fact. With the recent return of his seizures and gastro issues, the day could have started off in a terrible state. But I was unsettled from the moment I awoke.

April 13, 2015 by autismblessings 1 Comment

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters     As I have sat for almost 2 days watching the Masters Golf Tournament, I watched how the top players putted the same holes for 4 days straight.

April 3, 2015 by notaloneparents 2 Comments

Read below for a guest post from Mike Dobes. Three years ago, God ushered me into the world of disability ministry. I must admit that I felt very unqualified and assumed it was a temporary position.

Reflections on a Decade of Special Needs Parenting {guest post from Jennifer Janes}

Read below for a guest post from Jennifer Janes. My daughter will turn ten years old soon. We’re living the Christmas nightmare all over again---the obsessing over the day, the party, the details, what people will bring, what they will wear, if they will behave the way she wants them to, if she will get the gifts she desperately wants. We’re losing sleep over all of this. Twice this week she has … [Read more...]
