Great article on perspective from Bryan Stoudt . . .
Our precious
son Matthew has autism. His diagnosis changed our family’s future forever.
Matthew will not go off to school, get married, or do all the other things we
typically hope for our children. At a time where we were hoping to launch him
into the world for Christ, we need to have him declared legally 'incompetent'
so we can make decisions on his behalf. But the hardest losses are unseen, and
we still grieve not truly knowing, and being known by, the person we thought
he’d be.
While we
know this is God’s best for us, it’s still very hard and can bring us to tears
on any given day, often without warning. The next season of our lives is going
to be messy, unpredictable, and far more restrictive than we imagined on the
day he was born."
