This meal was absolutely delicious — prepared by Alexia Wallace — with the guidance of Denise Gerrich (aka Neicey), Payton & Alexia’s au pair, mentor, “foods\/cooking” teacher, and God’s special angel to the Wallace Family. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

What a blessing she has been to them. Denise realizes she is planting great seeds into the lives of others. And, now, especially for this special dinner — seeing that blessing passed on to Lexi.<\/p>\n

Yes, it takes patience to guide and direct someone who doesn’t have the experience — especially when it would be so much easier for us “to just do it ourselves”.<\/p>\n

I’m so thankful that “mothering” isn’t reserved only for mothers — but it’s those who have the capacity to give, nurture and love others. And, how wonderful children have access to several adults who love them — grandparents, child care workers, teachers, coaches, neighbors, aunts and uncles, pastors…..and nannies, au pairs and loving adults who don’t see kids as just “little people” — they see them as “a promise, a possibility — a great big bundle of potentiality — diamonds in the rough” — who with a little patience, tenderness, persistence and vision — are willing to give time to them — planting seeds of hope, self confidence, courage and purpose into them. Those of you who are all that, and more, you are God’s special angels!<\/p>\n

Thank you, Neicey, for being one of God’s special angels! The circle of life continues…..and one day, we’ll see Payton & Lexi’s kids being taught the golden nuggets that they learned from those who cared about the marks they will make in their future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
