Music

Mighty A has a great need to HUM. Not the cute..hmm hmmm, but what is called a 'self stim' in the autistic world. It gets pretty loud and unrelenting at times. To me it's a call to get in his world and try and play with him, or try and get him out of it. Music has been an answer. I Am A Child of God is one of his favorite songs to listen to. I put it on and he will stand there and listen. I"ll even catch him saying "me" at the right time in the song. Gives my heart JOY. True Joy.



Lately the thought that has come to me over and over are...Why are you trying to fix Ammon?
Therapy...special diets...vitamins. Maybe Ammon is experiencing his mission here just in the way he was intended to. Wouldn't we all like to just know we are loved and safe and well fed(very well fed I might add) warm, comfortable and have people play with us and hug us all day?Wouldn't we all like to blur out the world and just be with the ones we love and who love us?


John9:1-3 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.And his disciples asked him,saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Heavenly Father's 'works' are being manifested to me and our family through this sweet little boy. Yes, I want him to talk and understand what I'm saying to him... but he communicates to me through his spirit, his hugs and smiles and gestures and his eyes. Thank heaven for those gifts.

  1. Awesome. Well said. Thanks Wendy. Ammon looks so much older in these picts. He has grown a lot since we last saw him. It's been too long since we've seen all of you.
    Love to you and yours.
    Diane.

  3. That story in the bible brings lots of comfort. You and Andy are the most loving, patient parents I know. We should have lots of fun over spring break.
