April 26, 2016 by Aprille Leave a Comment

Social skills and communication skills can be hard for any child to master. Children with special needs especially struggle in these areas.

You may think the sky above is falling – but can you hear Jesus calling?

July 15, 2013 by Aprille 19 Comments

I know you are scared, but I won’t let you go. You aren’t “too far gone” for me. I’m still here. I haven’t gone anywhere. And I’m still loving you, holding you. I’m still calling out for you. Just be still and listen.
