A good friend can be a tangible expression of God’s mercy when we least expect it. A friend showed up for us when we felt too low and broken to receive it, but God knew better. Here are a few words of wisdom for showing up well for a family you love who is facing a childhood diagnosis.
As I reflect on the benefit of having a child with a diagnosis, I can’t help but notice how it is positively affecting my other children.

The book God Made Me Unique produced by Joni and Friends is an amazing resource to help children honor and value every person they encounter.
