friend falling in the snow...

what a blessed evening it was!!!

who he is...not just what he does.......

k...i had the most amazing revelation and experience over Christmas....sadly just now getting to sharing, but hey, better late than never eh?

so our family was fighting a "BUG" for the the third Christmas in a row....what is up with that??????

one sleepless night, i was confessing, as i had been doing for days, healing over my son, who was at the moment, suffering quite a bit....and it HIT ME.....

even if you've never had the experience of being in a dysfunctional relationship with a member of the opposite sex, you've at least had a friend who experienced one, or at the VERY LEAST seen a episode of "jerry springer" in passing, LOL!

we've all seen this though....they ask the person WHY they "love" the other person and their answer goes something like this, "because they treat me good or do things for me." i've experienced this and it stinks!!! i WANT to be loved for who i am as a person, not for what i can do for the other person...

so here i am 'thanking GOD' all night for healing but it's just not getting there fast enough and my little one is suffering so that i'm starting to loose a little faith....

it was then i realized that GOD is no different than us in that aspect...he too wants to be loved and/or praised for who HE IS and not just what he does for us...the moment i started PRAISING HIM, things immediately started to turn around for us....PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM!

does anyone remember.......

does anyone remember their first or second grade spelling tests?????

well...i kinda do, but i don't remember words like these being on it......

yeah, i know....my son loves his dvd's probably a little too much, but it goes with the territory of autism.

when we talk about the things he writes, sometimes i get the feeling it's either not believable to some or hard to wrap your head completely around. so here's his latest example above.....

in case you can't capture it all, it says......

"walt disney pictures presents, a pixar animation studios film, monster (should be monsters) inc, coming soon to disney dvd, summer 2008."

this was with no prompting, help or even suggestion, just off the top of his adorable little head...

how you like those apples?
