~*~*~*DAILY ADHD FUNNIES~*~*~*
"BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T LAUGH, YOU'LL GO CRAZY" Hah!

--- Can you relate? lol :)


I am not going to discuss whether ADHD is real or not on this blog; if you are ere, you know it is real- you have been diagnosed, or have a child/children who have been diagnosed, and you have felt the daily- chaos of the tremors of ADHD throughout your lives. If you are a parent who does not have a child with ADHD, or you are one of the subscribers of the theory that ADHD does not exist, then please know that this website is a place for parents with children who ARE diagnosed with ADHD, and families who ARE dealing with the chaos of ADHD in their family lives.
I do not take kindly to comments that seek to deny ADHD's existence and attack parents of ADHD children for such absurdities as blanket-assumptions that they 'do not parent their children well enough/talk to them about their sin enough'. Comments along those lines will be deleted. This website is meant to be a safe haven for parents of ADHD children. Believe me, we DO address the sin issues in our children's hearts. We have to do that AND walk a thin, shaky line that you don't in our children's hearts- and that shaky line is, what is sin in here, and what is a symptom of ADHD? We do not want to correct or bring discipline to a symptom of a disease that our child was handed due to genetics. If you had a child with Diabetes, would you discipline your child for the symptoms of his Diabetes? There is no difference for us. We are constantly threatened with guilt/worry that we are disciplining our kids for symptoms and not will full, sinful choices. We rely on God's grace alone to protect us from 'giving in' to guilt and worry as parents of ADHD children. We trust in His holy word that we can do all things through Christ-who strengthens us- that If God is for us, who/what can be against us?- that we are called to Not Fear, because God is able-worthy-willing-to protect us and keep us. We rest in the scriptures, finding solace and an oasis in them throughout the day, and, at the end of the day, we take all of our sins to the foot of the cross, where we open up our hearts before God and lay alllll of our sin at His precious feet- the place where we lay alllll of our hopes and dreams, lamentations and desires- where we see and recognize that God loves our child even more than we ever could, and that He is For us; He is For our child; HE is our ever-present help; HE is good, all the time- He is alive and present and actively helping us today- and He made it so that we Only need our sometimes feeble kind faith to benefit from ALL of His kindness. Thank the Lord! This is a post of gratitude today, for His Highness who hears and cares for ALL of His creation- who comes to HEAL the sick- and to bring MANY son's(and daughter's!) to glory!
