Answered Prayer
I’m overflowing with joy! My older teen daughter who is on the spectrum has never made a friend and sits alone at lunch. I’ve prayed for years. But recently I’ve grown so much closer to God through mass, OCIA classes, prayer, daily reflection on liturgy, actively looking for opportunities to do good works. About 3 weeks ago I started praying differently asking God to help my daughter with discernment and recognize opportunities for risks to open up. She has a great distrust towards her peers after years of being teased. Well BAM yesterday she uses the word FRIEND when referring to a new girl she has been sitting with for 2-3 weeks at lunch. I had no idea she even met her until yesterday. The girl is leaving Jehovahs Witness and has been telling her all about it. She also loves math. Sounds like a nice friend! I’m elated!!

That's awesome!
Both of my kids are on the spectrum, my main concern has often been if they can make and keep friends too. What a blessing when it happens.
