   I’ve been reading this blog regularly, but this is my first comment. Thank you so much to both of you for sharing this little glimpse into your life and heart. I am a pastor’s wife with one 7 year-old autistic son. I am so encouraged by this little video.

   John and Dianne,

   The video is beautiful piece of art that captures a sliver of how a perfect being like God chooses to take the broken and bring glory to Himself in their lives. It is a privilege to be a witness to this amazing grace. Thank you for doing this video.

    The greatest, most moving and perspective-giving 90 second sermon I’ve ever been blessed to hear and see. Thank you, Lord, for the grace of “broken” boys.

    Thanks for sharing your story. What Grace! I sometimes find myself praying that God will give my friends that are having babies children with disabilities so that they can receive that grace that you have talked about and we also have received. God bless you!

    Thank you John and Diane. God too has given my hubby and I three very special children. I have been desperate to find some sense of understanding away from what the world says about my kids. I read my Bible and it speaks of a sovereign God, full of grace and Love and that is who I see in my kids. I am thankful each day for who they are and how they think and cope with this world. Thank you Bethlehem Church, and Desiring God ministry for giving me a place to start to focus on the Biblical ideals regarding who God has made my kids to be; not by accident, not be error, but for His purpose and Glory and to Edify those who get to know and love them.

    Blessings

    Sue
