“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17)
All children are a gift, whether typical children or special
kiddos. Though my life may be ever
changing with the peaks and valleys of raising my children, God never
changes. As I am continually challenged
with the mountains my family may face daily, I take refuge in the knowledge
that God is not only good and perfect, but he is a loving Father. It is often said that children need
consistency. Isn’t it a comfort knowing
that God’s goodness and his love for us will always be consistent no matter how
deep the valley may seem? Through the
challenges of raising such a precious child, I have confidence in the fact that
God is a constant on whom I can always rely to guide me along the way.
Father, thank you for
the perfect gift of my son and for the knowledge that you are going to be with
us every step along the spectrum called autism.
The love I have for my son is the perfect reminder of the love You have
for me and just how unfathomable the depth of that love must be.
Hi Emily. Glad you have another blog.
