Here goes, my first blog.

I have no idea what I am really doing, but I am going to start anyway.  Today was a great day worshipping the Lord.  I only had one of my boys in Sunday School.  It was a really good day.  It is a real joy to watch the two boys as they learn to function in the world.  They both are on the autistic spectrum.  One is 12 years old and one is 6 years old.  They are very different in their areas of autism.  But it is a real joy working with both of them.  The young one is a runner.  So we have to be on our toes constantly or he is off and running.  What a site that is, a small boy sprinting across the campus with an old chubby woman in hot pursuit.  But today was a good day.  He didn't run once.  Thank you Lord.  Of course next week we may be running constantly.  He also can be a screamer, but today no screaming.  Again Thank you Lord.  I some times have to hold him down so he does wants to hit and kick.  I have to hold him down till he relaxes and then he can sit down and listen to the story, color pages and do the crafts.  Today he came in the classroom sit down and started coloring and was so calm.  It was great.  Then we painted a sun catcher.  Had a snack and in general had a wonderful day learning about prayer.  I am not going to expect that to be like that next week.  He is very smart.  Both of my boys are very smart, but they have trouble communicating their needs and their wants to us.  I am only with these boys from 4 to 6 hours a week.  Their families deal with them 24/7.  They are my heroes.  They love and care for them and try to communicate the best they can every hour of the day.  Today was good.  Next week maybe a lot more work but it will be good too.  It will be good because I will be telling them about Jesus Christ and His love for them.  That is what God has called me to do.  What has God called you to do?  Listen to what He is telling you to do.  Read His word and He will let you know what it is.  God Bless and keep you till next time.
