Expressing Himself


My oldest son, "Moose" is going through a stage where he posts notes on his door. Normally these little notes come when he has been disciplined by his dad or myself. Other times the notes show up when he is mad at his brothers. Click on the picture to read what they say...
My favorite note (I didn't take a picture of it) of Moose's read, "KEEP OUT... Due to Bible reading "
Those words just don't quite go together, do they???

Moose's Journal Entry

My little "Moose", or not so little Moose (he is ten) is a bold witness for Jesus. My family often jokes that he is going to be an evangelist :) I don't know this for sure, but I think the fact that Moose has Autism is one reason he is so bold. He just doesn't seem to have that social filter... At this point in his life he really doesn't seem to care what others think of him (for the most part). I could learn from him...

I was going through Moose's school work, and my eye saw the word "God" on a piece of paper, so I stopped myself from throwing the paper in the trash (that is where most of Moose's school work goes). Moose has to do daily journal entries, and this particular day the topic was... "Who I Love..." Here is what Moose wrote (I will not correct the grammar, although I am tempted to :)

(Moose goes to a public school)

" I love my God more than my school. We have to because he is only the one way. Soon we will have no body like him and thats how we become spirits." (Moose's teacher wrote...Very nice, his real name :)

I found out that my husband had a talk with Moose about how we need to love God more than anything else. My hubby used Moose's school as an example...Moose loves his school. Also, the last part comes from a conversation we had about how God doesn't have a body like we do...He is a Spirit, and one day our spirits will go to heaven to live with God. I love how Moose remembers things, and takes them to heart. He inspires me... post signature ( FYI: I am giving away a book by Larry Crabb below...check out video for information, then leave a comment to enter the giveaway)
