Why don’t they discipline that child?

I was a visitor in a circle of mothers who have children on the autism spectrum.”We’ve been kicked out of every place anyone takes their children. The public library banned us,”  one of them said. All the others nodded with full empathy because they’re living the same story.
I thought of the times there’s a child screaming in a store. The disapproving faces around them all wear an expression you could spell with the alphabet: “Why doesn’t she control her child?”
I wonder. Maybe it is an undisciplined child. Or maybe it’s a parent who’s ignored the child’s needs and has postponed lunch time or nap time way too long. Or maybe it’s a child with autism.
I expect that, unless autism touches our lives somehow, most of us don’t know much about what it is or how it affects a family. And yet we need to know more, or how can we be the body and hands of Christ to a family affected by autism?
I found this video from Joni and Friends very helpful.

What is worship? / ¿Qué es la adoración?

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God,
to feed the mind with the truth of God,
to purge the imagination by the beauty of God,
to open the heart to the love of God,
to devote the will to the purpose of God.

-- William Temple


Adorar es avivar la conciencia de la santidad de Dios,
para alimentar la mente con la verdad de Dios,
para purgar la imaginación por la belleza de Dios,
para abrir el corazón al amor de Dios,
dedicar la voluntad de la voluntad de Dios.

- William Temple

The Heart Healed and Changed by Mercy by William Cowper

The Heart Healed and Changed by Mercy

by William Cowper

---

Sin enslav'd me many years,      And led me bound and blind; Till at length a thousand fears      Came swarming o'er my mind. Where, I said in deep distress, Will these sinful pleasures end? How shall I secure my peace, And make the LORD my friend? Friends and ministers said much      The gospel to enforce; But my blindness still was such,      I chose a legal course: Much I fasted, watch'd and strove, Scarce would show my face abroad, Fear'd, almost, to speak or move, A stranger still to GOD. Thus afraid to trust his grace,      Long time did I rebel; Till, despairing of my case,      Down at his feet I fell: Then my stubborn heart he broke, And subdu'd me to his sway; By a simple word he spoke, "Thy sins are done away."

Tarry Home: Suffering, what is my/our response to alleviate suffering in the world?

My brother is getting baptised! My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness 2 and Jonathan's new blog called 'God's Grace is Profound'

For 'My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness 2' see http://tarryhome.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-heart-is-filled-with-thankfulness-2.html by Tarry home.

To see Jonathan's new blog home page called 'God's Grace is Profound' go to http://profound-grace.blogspot.com/. On his blog you can watch a video of him reading his testimony and then being baptised or simply read his testimony on the blog or otherwise go to his home page and then you can have the option of reading his testimony and listening to the video at the same time.

If you are more interested you might also want to read or listen to a few sermons from the suggestions that he has given under the links section of his blog. In the links section you are able to find some really great sermons that are  free (pretty cool hey?) to download of the internet.

I hope anyone who reads this post will take the time to enjoy listening to the way Jonathan has received from Jesus the wonderful grace of salvation given as a gift. As he would say surely "God's grace is profound".

Psalm 139

I just wanted to share one of my favourite section of scriptures with anyone who wants to read this.

Psalm 139 (New International Version)

Psalm 139

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

 ¹ O LORD, you have searched me
       and you know me.  ² You know when I sit and when I rise;
       you perceive my thoughts from afar.
 ³ You discern my going out and my lying down;
       you are familiar with all my ways.
 ⁴ Before a word is on my tongue
       you know it completely, O LORD.
 ⁵ You hem me in—behind and before;
       you have laid your hand upon me.
 ⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
       too lofty for me to attain.
 ⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
       Where can I flee from your presence?
 ⁸ If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
       if I make my bed in the depths, ^[a] you are there.
 ⁹ If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
       if I settle on the far side of the sea,
 ¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
       your right hand will hold me fast.
 ¹¹ If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
       and the light become night around me,"
 ¹² even the darkness will not be dark to you;
       the night will shine like the day,
       for darkness is as light to you.
 ¹³ For you created my inmost being;
       you knit me together in my mother's womb.
 ¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.
 ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
 ¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in your book
       before one of them came to be.
 ¹⁷ How precious to ^[b] me are your thoughts, O God!
       How vast is the sum of them!
 ¹⁸ Were I to count them,
       they would outnumber the grains of sand.
       When I awake,
       I am still with you.
 ¹⁹ If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
       Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
 ²⁰ They speak of you with evil intent;
       your adversaries misuse your name.
 ²¹ Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
       and abhor those who rise up against you?
 ²² I have nothing but hatred for them;
       I count them my enemies.
 ²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart;
       test me and know my anxious thoughts.
 ²⁴ See if there is any offensive way in me,
       and lead me in the way everlasting.

1:8

1:8 (Joshua 1:8-9)

"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage: do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD you God is with you wherever you go."

1:8 (Revelation 1:8)

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:8-10
