Re: Perfect Timing

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for these inspiring words. I couldn't have expressed it

better. We have a 3.5 year old daughter with severe apraxia, hypotonia, and

SID, who has a few words (approximations) and a year ago I thought she would be

talking by now. What she is doing is constantly teaching our family that

patience is a virtue and to appreciate the little things in life that we all

have

taken for granted. She is the youngest of five and my oldest is 10. It is

amazing to me how loving, gentle, kind, and patient they are with her. Thanks

again Jlynch

Perfect Timing

“There is a right time for everything†Ecclesiastes 3:1

" It's not easy to be patient when you want something to happen. Waiting

for your birthday to come or for summer to start can be so hard! But God

has a time for everything. He made the seasons long enough for flowers and

trees to grow. He made the days long enough for both work and play. When

you get impatient, remember that everything happens exactly when God wants

it to. His time is the perfect time.

God's in control of the days and the seasons. He plans it all for the

greatest of reasons.

This is an excerpt from my children's daily devotional bible. It greatly

reminded me of my 4 3/4 yr old son who has some developmental delay. He

was diagnosed with Verbal Apraxia when he was 3yrs old.

Apraxia is the inability to make a voluntary movement in spite of being

able to demonstrate normal muscle function. My son cannot talk normally

like a 5yr old, he talks like an 18month old due to this. When he was

diagnosed and we were told the therapy he needed, my husband and I thought

he would be able to speak soon after the therapy kicked off. We were very

anxious for him to say his first word. But it was not so. We were made to

realize that we were in for a long haul. He would be thought how to make

consonants and vowel sounds to form words. And even before he does that,

there is the mouth exercise, how to move is tongue, teeth, lips and his

whole body in different ways into motivation.

The whole family is taking baby steps with my son to achieve this. After

being through several therapy sessions with him, I realized that this would

be a “Patience Schoolâ€. What is so normal for kids of my son’s age is a

struggle for him. To talk, wear his shoes, brush his teeth…. My husband

and I realized that our patience will have to be extensive if we desire to

help our son.

After a year of therapy, my son can say some words and sign language to

communicate. There will come a ‘time’ when he will say two word sentence,

three , four, five six .....word sentences and there will come a ‘time’

when he will talk non-stop because there is indeed a " right time for

everythingâ€. God will perfect it in His own ‘time’ not ours.
