"Life is like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you're gonna get," especially in our house.  

What I have found since we started Blue on this new med so far is that he still falls apart, but it's a little easier to put him back together.   

After such a fun day on Saturday, Sunday morning Blue tried the whole hiding in the bathroom routine because when we woke up there were clouds.  As he was cursing God for hating him and making his life miserable...the sun was already starting to burn through the clouds.  God must have heard him. 

He refused to notice the sun coming through.  Instead, he proceeded to tantrum verbally, telling us all off with a few choice words.  My mom chimed in, "That boy needs a good spanking."  Of course, I ignore her.  It got underneath my skin, but I kept it there.

Instead of spanking him as prompted by my mother, I follow him up to his room where he is laying on the floor crying.  I begin to pray with, for and over him -aloud,  in a very soothing tone of voice. 

"Lord, please help him to feel the love I have for him in his heart.  Give him peace.  Give him strength.  Help him to see all the love that surrounds him -the love of his family, the love of his friends, the love of the teachers who help him.  Help him to feel the support that he has.  Please give him peace in his mind, in his heart and in this home.  Help us all Lord.  Give us strength. Please give him peace.  Let him feel peace."  

With that, his tears stop falling.   His body relaxed.  The tension melted like butter.

Do you believe in miracles?
