The Joy of a Hope and Faith-Filled Child
Today is the second Sunday of Advent. Last Sunday the theme was HOPE, and today, the second lit candle on the Advent Wreath represents FAITH! And for a little personal emphasis, those hope and faith themes are so appropriate today because it’s my hope-filled and faith-filled daughter’s birthday! Oh how thrilled I was 50 years…
And You Will Call Her Name…..Staci Michelle
When December rolls around, I go into nostalgic-mode because it holds so many treasured memories from years past. Other than the unparalleled birth-day of Jesus, was the birth of my precious girl, Staci Wallace. Back in those days, they put most of us to sleep to have our babies, and we didn’t know whether we…
Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept It
I always enjoyed the Mission: Impossible TV shows back in the 60s to 80s, and then the movies that took the show to a whole new level with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The most familiar quotes were “Your mission, should you choose to accept it….” and “As always, should you or any of your…
See You at the Top!
A few days ago I was inspired when I saw my daughter’s Instagram post: “Intensely grateful for the role this man (Zig Ziglar) played in my life for so many years. Next to my father, his words, encouragement and life shaped my perspective like no other. I give thanks that he was able to call…
God Gave Us YOU, Larry Wallace!
Friday morning, I took Larry his requested “Granny’s Chocolate Cake” for his birthday — well, it’s her recipe, but now I get to take the glory for having perfected it! LOL! Since I’m going to be out of the country on his birthday, June 9th, and since we’re a family that one day of celebration…
Seed Time and Harvest Time
Yesterday morning, I was on the road again! Willie Nelson, thanks for the song to accompany my travels to here and there and back again. I made my way back to Frisco from Austin and what a joy it was to arrive just in time for the performances of my Wallace grandchildren (and their Mama)…
And God said, “You’re Welcome!”
On the way to taking my boys to school, we were enamored once again by God’s majestic creation. Back in Oklahoma, there are little signs that Spring is around the corner, but here in Washington, you would think it was Spring year-round. The green fir trees, the evergreens, the flowers in bloom, and the grass…
Happy Anniversary, Larry and Staci!
Day 7 of the Month of Love — Happy 19th Anniversary, Larry Wallace & Staci Wallace Of course Day 7 of the Love Month would be the celebration of my kids’ 19th wedding anniversary. I’m thanking God for them today! 19 years ago we had a wedding celebration of epic proportion. Larry & Staci Wallace…
Sweetheart, You’ve Got Your Girl!
Day 342 of Photo Inspirations — Sweetheart, You’ve Got Your Girl My obstetrician was going on a 2-week vacation right when my baby was due, and since he had been my “go-to” doc throughout my pregnancy, I didn’t want to take a chance on him not being there for me. Doc told me the baby…
Hey Leader! Strike Up the Band!
Day 276 of Photo Inspirations — Hey Leader! Strike Up the Band! I love these photos of a group of kids hugging the gal in the middle of them — the Drum Major for their high school band!! At the end of school year this last Spring, a dear friend reached out to me with…
