Please take a minute to watch the video about Sam the Barista and read the following information to learn more about interacting with children with Autism. Plan to support your fellow Royals by wearing BLUE on Thursday, April 6th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaRqqVDAaQo
I love this quote. As parents of children that have unique needs we can have a lot on our plate.
We are concerned where our child will live when they get older, who will take care of them. We struggle to get them to speak, to know what they need or want. We wonder how their siblings are dealing with all the demands of taking care of their brother or sister. We struggle to find the school that will help them the best and one we can afford. We struggle to get them to eat a well-balanced meal or even eat at all. We struggle with behaviors out in public and having to carry them out screaming at times.
Whew! It can feel like a whole lot. The good news though is God is always there to carry us, to walk us through those tough times. I have learned so much through my Charlie’s struggles. He teaches me way more than I could ever teach him. I always have to be mindful of being open to learning through the struggles, not just afterwards.
Let me encourage you today to dance in the rain. God tells us in James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
