A Good Fit

A "good fit" is necessary for so many things in life...

We've been in this home with Lauren for a year now. I think we all agree that it is a "good fit" for our family, at this time in our lives. The church we attend is also a "good fit" for us... a small, quiet, transparent body of believers that often wait for everyone to get there before starting the service, and love to help each other.

Ethan has been personally blessed with several very important "good fits" in the last few months. I am so happy to report that he now receives physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy, at home, from some amazing people that not only "know their stuff", but have connected well with him, love him, and have a vision for his potential. 
Psalm 118: 23 :"This is the LORD'S doing; It is marvelous in our eyes."

The most recent "fit" was a new wheelchair!!! It did not arrive a day too soon, either. He has had such a growth spurt the last three years, that his poor legs were dangling off the seat, unsupported. His constant athetoid movements had worn out or broken several parts. His new "ride" also has the added feature of tilting!!!...that I might use it as a feeding chair! I'm still getting used to all the buckles and straps and clips that hold him secure. But, one thing is for sure: 
It is a good fit.
