In today's episode I talk about the difficulty autism families often have during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes they are not able to leave their homes because their child with autism just cannot cope. I offer suggestions on how to support these families during this time.

In today's episode I am talking about how our family's "normal" way of doing things evolved into a new "normal" after our son's diagnosis. Our older, 'typical' son has had to adjust as well. Sometimes we have to split our time as a family, but we have learned how to adjust.

Being brave means you do it even though you are scared. God is with you! If He is calling you to something, trust Him and take that step of faith. If you fail, you can simply count that on your spiritual resume as a lesson learned!

Listen to be encouraged through God's word why we suffer in this lifetime.

What is a ministry that almost anyone can do? What is a ministry that takes just a few minutes of your time? What is a ministry that is FREE?
