Ruth Ranieri said : "I used to also, but once having an autistic son who people looked at you like why did you bring that into the world I didn’t care what they thought but they were strangers. It is another thing if it is your spouse or children and I chose God over them too. It matters what God thinks not man. It mattered to Jesus what the Father thought than man."
