Welcome to Recognize and Remember ….

I am a wife to Bill (we have been married 28 1/2 years) – you can read about our marriage throughout this blog.  After 25 year of actively raising children, we became empty nesters last fall.  I am so thankful that we have remained together through good and hard (lots of hard) times.    We have 3 daughters, Alycia, Laryssa and Audrianna – they are my life.  Change is the word that best describes our lives since last year’s blog party.  In the last year, our middle daughter got married and moved away, our youngest daughter went to college 8 hours away, our oldest daughter just got engaged and is planning another fall wedding and  my husband and I both turned 50 .  Oh, and did I also mention that we will be Grandparents this summer!  My calling is to speak and write to encourage women to trust God throughout their life’s journey by remembering God’s faithfulness.    I have been a MOPS Mentor for over 8 years;  I love being with Moms as well as being a Mom!  The most important things about me can be learned here. 

 My family on September 5th, 2009 – soon we will have 2 new members – a new grandson and a new son-in-law.

This past year, has also brought me a new career with DaySpring’s Blessings Unlimited.  Blessings Unlimited is a DaySpring Direct Sales Company whose passion is ministry … “Our Mission statement is to pursue the heart of God and bring blessings to others.”Through Blessings Unlimited I am allowed to use my calling to minister to women through speaking and writing, while offering these inspiring products to encourage women in their faith journey.
I recently heard the President of DaySpring say that ministry is our business, and business allows us to do ministry. That reminded me of the tent makers in the New Testament who did ministry and supported their ministry through their work.

I would love to speak at your church/women’s group (check out my speaker information here), bless you (or someone you love) with inspiring products/gifts  (which can be seen here), or encourage you with several devotional blogs I have written (which can be read on my Blessings Unlimited Fan Page). 

You can receive 10% off any Blessings Unlimited internet order (through April 30th) by leaving me a comment, introducing yourself and telling me what has been a blessing in your life (I will email you the discount).  AND don’t forget that to comment on the Ultimate Blog Party home page to win the Blessings Unlimited Blessings Blocks.

“From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another.”  John 1:16
