Carousel Grace

I’ve been a little more quiet this week because life has been very loud. Yesterday was the hardest day we’ve ever had with Benjamin - hard on everyone. It was one of those nights you go to bed begging God to override memories and cover the rest with grace. Especially for the little ones.

We waded in new mercies today from yesterday’s prayers for a grace flood. We went to Zoo Knox. They had a social story on their website to prepare Jam and a sensory backpack for him to carry with him.

On the day after what felt like actual hell, this almost-7-year old giant child saw his first carousel and BEGGED to ride it. I tried to convince him he wouldn’t like it, but he insisted. The JOY. Unexplainable joy filled this child. Light overrode the dark circles under his eyes, and he laughed and laughed and laughed.

You just never know how grace is going to show up. (But a super GoGo and an accessible zoo sure did help make a way for it!)
