Tell Me Something Good

In order to recognize this good news, people are posting examples of what that good news might look like in our own lives. Some of those examples include, “got a B in my Animal Behavior Class,” “scans that show decrease in all tumors,” and my personal favorite (not written by me), “we’re eating lasagna tonight.”

The church does the same thing!

In thinking of Michael this week, I made an embarrassing realization. I never made an effort to see what Mike needed or if there was anything a Sunday school teacher could do to better engage with autistic children. I didn’t move to make myself more aware. Could I make my classroom more comfortable for him? Could I introduce activities that would serve his strengths and likes? Could I be more aware of his sensory triggers and the paths to restoring his peace?
