Schools about to start for the kids and it never ends for M and myself. Thank goodness, I'm still seeing lots of progress. When the children returned home after a trip with relatives, M spoke with our son. Initiation of conversation with more content than a polite social nicety, accurately keeping track of where the kids were, neither would have happened as recently as a week or two ago.
M also consistently follows his morning routine, a list of some seven items. He's much better able to control his reactions to unfortunate events (such as a vase falling off the entertainment center).
one of my favorite passages -
Philippians 4 (NIV)
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
