My youngest has had issues over the years and I believe he is high functioning Aspergers. One of the little things between us as he always had to do a repetitive kiss him on this cheek and then that cheek and then the first one again (and he never knew when he was done!) is that he says "I love you more" and I would respond "I love you more" and somehow I think I had to find more love for him, trying a little harder to deal with him, and loving him all the more for it! My other son has had Major Depression since he was young and it goes for him as well. Oh, what our children teach us...and a deeper well of love for those we have to love with a deeper level of persistence and patience. And,oh, that our Heavenly Father loves us so!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-37418840917458972112011-05-09T12:34:16.836-04:002011-05-09T12:34:16.836-04:00He is a little cutie, to be sure!

I'm so thrilled the Lord has redeemed difficult situations for you both. He is a Master at that! I've always sensed Carrie's JOY in her beautiful son. He is such a cutie! I didn't realize all the particulars till this post. <br /><br />Diana, I'm so thankful you have a renewed relationship with your daughter and that she knows Christ's love firsthand! I pray you have many years together to make up for the lost years. I think of the verse, "I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten..." That's certainly been true in my own life. Bless you both.Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-3196982320089953112011-05-09T09:28:50.365-04:002011-05-09T09:28:50.365-04:00Thank you, Carrie, for sharing your heart with us....Thank you, Carrie, for sharing your heart with us. What a beautiful and touching post this is and how appropriate for Mother's Day. Motherhood is all about mercy, love, persistence and in my case, forgiveness. I had one child (my son) who became a police officer, and the other child (my daughter) who ended up in trouble all of the time.<br /><br />She and I spent the afternoon together for Mother's Day yesterday and as we laughed and talked I realized how much God had intervened in our lives. After many years and tears, and as you said, promises of God, my daughter has accepted Christ into her life. And I realized an amazing thing...I had forgiven her for all of it. All the sleepless nights, all the worry, all the crying into my pillow because of her actions, all of it! Just as Christ forgives us and shows us mercy, love and persistence, He put that same ability in us as mothers. What a wonderful gift! And if you view my profile pic you can see just what the Lord hath done, and it is good in my eyes.Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.com
