The Billboard

During my travel one day to Dallas, driving with the heart-filled enthusiasm with which I usually drive when I am on my way to visit my Mother, I saw a billboard from a distance.  As I drove closer, I could see a picture of what seemed to be a young man sitting on the floor, back against the wall, and his hands covering his face.  While you could not see his face, the sky-high vision was one of someone clearly in anguish.  Just at the sight of this, I became bothered.  I could not imagine what the advertisement was possibly for-not the usual a driver sees, that’s for sure.  Then I gazed further and with more intent to make some meaning out of this puzzling advertisement-When I found the caption:”There is nothing to hard for God.” By then, I had driven past the billboard. Within a second, a calm came over me and I began to smile.

Everytime I travel to North Texas, I drive with heart-filled enthusiasm still to see my Mother, but anxious enthusiasm to see my billboard.  I hope they never take it down.

It serves as a reminder to me, that there really is nothing too hard for God.  Not even autism.

The Gift Not Under The Tree!

1.  A Precious Package-no matter the size!

2.  Don’t waste your time wrapping-the paper is soft, delicate, wahsable when it gets dirty, and comes in a variety of hues, but not one ugly green or red!

3.  It may not be tree friendly-the ornaments may be licked, the lights may become a fixation, or may scare them totally-don’t worry-the tree won’t last, but the gift will

4.  It really is the gift that keeps on giving!

5.  The 12 Days of Christmas is nothing compared to a Lifetime of Autism and everyday there lies a blessing-even on the not so good ones!

Happy Holidays!

Apology Not Accepted!

Many times others want to apologize for my son not being able to speak or communicate his needs in a traditional way.  Many times when I selectively share “He has autism”, the response is “Oh, I’m sorry.”  But I quickly respond, “Apolpogy not accepted!” 

You have nothing to be sorry for, and we certainly don’t! 

He has been a blessing that none of us deserve!  Some people get it, and some really get it, then give a big smile.

No.  No apology accepted for our blessing.  Never!
