Giving Thanks for Lessons in Tolerance and Understanding

By , About.com GuideDecember 16, 2010

Follow me on:

Christmas TreeI asked you to share what you give thanks for about your child with special needs, and Sarah Beth wrote about her prayer for her son:

"My son has Tourette's, ADHD and other disabilities. He has made me more tolerant, open hearted and exhausted. I'm sure I will look back some day and know that it's been worth it all, but right now it's very hard. I know God gives us only what we can handle. I grieve that my precious son struggles socially, but pray that the struggles he is undergoing can help him identify with others who struggle the same way he does."

Stop back here every day in December to read another parent's offering, and add your own story to the garland of gratitude.
