As I stated before on this forum,I will play the hand that God dealt. Would I dip her into the waters at Lourdes. Never.
No, I would never dip my 13 year old son into Lourdes, either. Actually, there was an essay about that a few years ago...or maybe it was in a Chicken Soup book. A woman took her special needs son to Lourdes and then decided he didn’t need healing...and that was the miracle that happened at Lourdes.
For all the challenges, I do have to say that there are some huge benefits to not having a typical teenage boy in the house! (But I didn’t dodge much of a bullet, because God rewarded me with three girls to make up for it. LOL) And yes at the Halloween and Christmas. He always knows what he wants to be that year at Halloween to the detriment of his poor sewing grandma. (Last year was an elephant..for a 5’4 12 year old!) And of course, Santa still exists!
