So, Adam is back to school after being home sick for a week. He's feeling better, but still hates going to school. I guess I don't blame him. He's been in one program or another since he was 3 months old. Adam had meningitis and sepsis when he was just 5 weeks old; he has had many struggles during his lifetime, and has overcome so much, but the diseases left him with some disabilities and one of those is great difficulty communicating and speaking. He is a truly loving and forgiving person; I learn so much from him.
This morning, as usual, he did not want to wake up. He resisted even in spite of teasing and threats to dump him off his mattress. (which I threaten often but would never do. It just makes him laugh.) When I finally got him out of bed, and was helping him dress, he said "an ocean". I asked "an ocean?" He said "yes, an ocean." He thought for a moment and continued, "an ocean.....................of Jesus." I asked, "were you dreaming about being in an ocean of Jesus?" He replied. "yes." I could feel the presence of the Lord around him. I would not have wanted to get up either. So sorry, Adam. I wish you could stay in that place forever. Then again, maybe you do. Thanks, God, for stopping by. and staying.
