Healed Hearts

As i sat down to write this morning i realized it had been a very long time since i last wrote, Wow did life happen to me, things got really busy, but now it is summer time and I think I will have more time, we will see how that goes.
Most of my writing so far has been about how Pieper's Autism has effected my family ,  but I would like to touch on the power God has had on my life, I did name this blog "My life with God and Autism"  after all if it weren't for Gods amazing power I would not deal well at all with the things life has for me, I mean lets be honest, I'm a drama queen, and totally spoiled (I blame my Dad for that one) so throwing a fit is how i usually handle things, and that won't work, Pieper does enough of that, and it would be weird if we both did it, and a bit pathetic.
Over this last Memorial day weekend I was very aware of Gods healing power. My family and I were sitting on the deck one night, telling stories and laughing, having such a great time. In that moment I could see Gods hand on all of us, it was only a few short years ago that would not have been possible, you see my husband was really not always so great to me, he was an addict for most of his adult life, and he struggled with it for the first several years of our life, and because of that he did not make the best choices sometimes, and i don't have to tell you that those choices, upset my parents and my brothers quite often, and life at that point with my family was very uncomfortable. Tommy was at one point not welcome at my parents home, and i did spent time separated from them, i was trying to keep thing together for my babies, but i felt like i was failing, Tommy could not keep himself clean, and I was loosing it, things were pretty dark for me. But that all changed, the day we opened our eyes to the life God had waiting for us. And in our lives being healed( Psalm 147:3 ) he also began to heal my family as well, they started to forgive Tommy, letting him come back around, and before they even knew it they started to love him. Now fast forward to this last Memorial day, and we were all laughing together, it was in fact a wonderful weekend, and I believe that it would never have been possible with out Gods presents in our life, and that is a gift He has given me that is priceless. Thank you Lord for you healing power in the lives of my family, may you continue to be at work in all of my families lives, and shine your light on them.
Blessings to all
