Y It is almost Valentine's Day. The day when I was single I dreaded! I think the entire time I was single I had about 2 good Valentine's Days. I had the same distain for New Years Eve too! So then I got married. Well, Valentine's Day is still no big deal. I guess I have finally gotten over it all because I finally realized that the only reason I cared in the first place was because it meant someone cared. Silly to me now.
It is interesting to see how my "needs" have changed and my idea of what is important and what isn't has changed also. I love how the Lord changes us. Thank you Lord for that or I would still be so lost in my own yuck!
This weekend I am working on a communication book for Jake. It was really hard to get started on it because denial can be a comfort sometimes. Yet it hurts my heart to see him struggle so much at trying to get his needs across to us. Trish has a program at her school that can make these books. Once I got started it was pretty easy. I am almost finished with it. I want to make it easy and fun for him. Then he can take it wherever he goes and can take out a picture and show the "thing" he wants or what he is trying to say. I also realized that I was afraid he would not talk at all and become depended on the book. Once again I am reminded that God is in control not me. Praise God for His control and NOT mine!
Trish played a game with Jake to show me how to use the book and Jake responded quickly to it. I am sure he thinks it is just a game. Anyway, I will keep you posted as to his progress.
