Happy, Happy Nan
Yesterday, Braden Wuerch, my 23-year old, first born grandson, flew into Austin to spend some time here with us. Happy, happy Nana! . Floods of memories, and lots of catching up on his amazing life. Words like this touched my heart so much: “I saved a woman’s life yesterday. She was in respiratory arrest and…
A Bear, A Lion and a Big Dude
I posted about David and his giant, yesterdayt! Just wanted to add….a P.S. to that post! David DID win that epic battle with Goliath, but God had prepared him in the trenches, in the “small” things. David was faithful to fulfill his responsibilities. David did anything God asked him to do. When he faced the…
An Honest Day’s Pay for an Honest Day’s Work
Yesterday I remembered this quote after I saw two men that my son hired to help us. They moved heavy furniture from one room to another; they tore down boxes; they carried heavy boxes up to the attic; and they repositioned heavy rocks that had fallen. My son hired them at a “standard” spot, Home…
It Only Takes a Spark to Get a Fire Blazing
This photo of Bryson, my youngest grandson, was taken one year ago on April 11th. He was with his family touring Austin with their best friends and they came across this lovely property which included these cute, harmless goats and my grandson loved them then, and even more today. Now they are his. It was…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, a sweet new friend I’ve met here in Austin, asked me for the website for my daily blog. Not only do I blog on my Google website, but I also post it here on Facebook: http://livinginthepeacezone.blogspot.com/ I started blogging years ago, back when it would have seemed I had every right in the world…
Believe and Receive
I’m still here in Austin with who I now call my “Austin Family”. It’s as though my family has been here for quite some time, and they just arrived last weekend. They already have lots of new friends, the boys were already drafted into baseball teams (winning big yesterday). They’re adapting quite well to their…
Name Calling — But If It Fits, OWN It!
Machines, Rock Stars, Beast Mode, Tough Cookies……those are names my sweet daughter, Shawntel Wuerch and I were called a few weeks ago as we packed up their entire home for their move to Texas. We were relentless in making sure the precious items were padded and packed into just-the-right-sized, room-named boxes. We laughed a lot…
Pennies From Heaven
When I was almost to Austin on Monday, Ryan called to ask me to meet up with him at a business in downtown where he was in a meeting. While I was with him at the business meeting, I went into the ladies room and I was amazed when I saw the floor. It was…
You Are Fabulous!
I love baby photos like this! We can put some great captions to them. And the caption I put on this one…FABULOUS is the way God sees YOU! Own it, Baby! Fabulous means extraordinary, tremendous, phenomenal, remarkable, exceptional. You are ALL THAT and even more! You are a handcrafted one-of-a-kind original made by the Master…
Sometimes Life Gives You a 360
I was born in Dallas, Texas “a few” years ago! LOL! Then our son and daughter were born there, too. That makes us Texans through and through. When my Canadian husband, myself and our two children left Dallas in 1971 for Oklahoma, who knew there would be a “coming back home” someday — at least…
