Thurs - sent Jojo to school, quite sure he would be sent home by lunchtime with this tonsillitis. He's fine one minute & wheezing horribly the next. Usually I would keep him off in this state, but as he was already on red on the attendance traffic light system, and rec'd a call from his school on wed, saying i should send him in... it's quite funny, feeling obliged to do as school says for one child, while I have been completely freed from their rules regarding other children.
I had my precious friend over,(MPF) and we had a serious talk about dealing with ASD. It sounded a bit like i was shouting at her, but i really wasn't! It is such an emotive subject, mixed in with guilt- what have I been doing wrong?, worry for the future etc. But at the end of the day, (or preferably the beginning, ) ask the Lord what He wants us to do, and be prepared to obey.
Then after some cheese butties & chips, I went to our fellowship group. We never even got to the bible as so many people were struggling with daily life issues: so it's good to deal with things as they came up. That's a good thing about the flexibility of our group. But it ties in so well with our current sermon theme of Revelation 12 & 13 - That The Lord has won the spiritual battle with Satan, Our Lord is unbeatable! And satan can't get to the Lord's people in heaven, so he is having a jolly good go at the Lord's people on earth.
I felt that, while everyone was telling the truth, you could also hear satan's lies in the not-so-distant-background: "no-one understands how you feel", "you're dealing with this on your own","God is not sorting things out", that kind of thing i have fallen for so many times myself.
Praise God! He knew life would be like this from everlasting, and He is dealing with our problems in His Perfect Way, at His perfect time, to work everything into His perfect plan!
I think my job is to remind people to look up! He is trustworthy (I'm preaching to myself here!)
in other news, I finished the scarf I'm knitting for Ruby. I need to make a start on the matching beret now. Taking a colour-break first by starting the 2nd of Fred's "Golden" socks.
I constantly say to myself "ooh i must pray about that" during the day. So now it's time to turn laptop off & DO IT! x
