Have you hugged your child today? Have you talked to God about him/her? He will gladly help you... and give you everything you need>>>>>>>>>
Sure I love my special needs child very much. (she also drives me nuts. lol) Tell me as you sit in your church service do you offer help to the parent who’s special needs child is having difficulty sitting through the service? Does God direct you to come to the parents aide so they can come an worship? Have you volenteered or helped organize a way to help families still be able to come to your church and be part of it? Or do you just sit there and wonder why that parent lets her child disrupt your worship? Do you just sit there and wonder why some people no longer come to service? Exactly how has God asked you and your church to help families for children with behavioral problems? Sure they brought them into the world, have you asked God how you might be able to best serve Him in helping them?
I have spent many Sunday mornings with OPC's. I was an associate pastor, and music/worship leader for years. But, you are trying to make this about me, not my question.
One of faves was an 8yo girl with CP. She was totally spastic, but totally aware of her world. We shared God's blessings. I have been there, done that!
I am not posing hypothetical questions. I am trying to see how people justify the reliance on the state. Most of those families with "special needs", require much more than their share. Not only require it, but DEMAND it as a right. Sorry, I am not in that school.
What do you do with your kids, when the gum't goes bust? If you think we can keep going down this road, you should take off your blinders...
Speaking of which... There was a man that sat by a pool, waiting for it to "stir". Rumor said that there was healing in the water there. He was there a long time, waiting...
