I have been so proud of my son as he is learning such great manners and it is truly music to this Mom’s ears when I hear, “Yes, ma’am”, “No sir”, and so forth. I can stand a little taller knowing my constant efforts for good manners are paying off. The other thing that I have been so proud…

A day to remember…

I have a name…
On the outside a pre-teen boy can look quite dreamy, handsome, and with a girl doing everything to get his attention. Unfortunately, this may be the furthest thing from his mind because flirting back is not how this child thinks – he is a child with autism. (Due to him being diagnosed as having mild autism, most people at first…
It is hard being me…
My son said, “It is hard being me“ I asked my son, “Who else do you think Jesus would want you to be? Because through your own eyes, you can clearly see See the purpose He has chosen for only you And you know what son? I think your new book will encourage the world too” As I marvel into…
Liar, liar…pants on fire
Wow, we all have witnessed the consequences of lying this week in the media which started with a fabricated story from an Olympic gold medalist in swimming. Sadly, one lie turned into another lie and maybe since he was getting attention, (not like he is needing anymore) the temptation to not only continue lying, but get juicier with the lies…
“Mom, I don’t have any friends”…
My son and I were coming home last week from taking my daughter, his sister, to tumbling. He became quiet as he sat across from me in the front seat and it was like Jesus whispered to me, “Ask him if everything is ok,” and so I did. I couldn’t have braced myself for what was to come next. Kindly,…
The Un-Crooked Lawyer…Lesson in Judging Others
I heard a beautiful story from Chuck Swindoll and I decided it was worth sharing in my own words. The story begins: Every year at Thanksgiving, a large legal firm would bring all their attorneys into a large boardroom and hand out a turkey for each one of them as a gift during the season of giving. Unfortunately, there was…
Greatest congregation…our children
When we hear the word “congregation” we immediately think of people gathering for a religious service. What if we thought of the word “congregation” in a new way? Our greatest congregation should be our children. How much time do we spend with them listening to some story about “nothing”; however, it is a story that matters to your child? Are…
Coming soon…Marvel in your Autistic Eyes
I have to admit the best part of completing a very long project of writing a book is deciding on the cover design. It is like “a- kid -in -a -candy- store” kinda moment. One that brings forth a sense of perseverance and determination to complete the gift that has been given to me. Once it is seen and I can pretend I am holding…
I want to be famous…
My son and I were riding along in the car the other day, when all of a sudden he blurted out, “I want to be famous.” I smiled and then decided to use this as a teachable moment. I replied, “Well, you know what?” He looked at me and reminded me, “Mom you are not supposed to say what” Gosh…
