About T.W. Allgaier

I love Jesus. If I say nothing else, that is enough. But for those curiosity seekers, I am a 61 year old former special education teacher, current part time CCM Radio Announcer and author... who is married to her high school sweetheart. We have been together for 44 years, married almost 41 of those years! We have raised two sons, who are now married, have jobs and mortgages. AND...we became grandparents to a beautiful baby girl in 2018!! We also have our furry son, a West Highland Terrier. My heart's desire is to encourage people in their daily life. I believe that the Father speaks to us all the time, sometimes I have been too busy to listen. Even during times of trials and troubles, which seem endless right now in 2021, HE is present and loves us unconditionally. Thanks for reading. ~Be Encouraged Today~

God’s Handiwork

We’ve just come back from a wonderful vacation.

We were able to spend some time on Sanibel Island, FL and a sunset on Siesta Key, FL.

We always love the beach, but this year we seem to notice so many examples of God’s creation that just stood out to us. I think that as we get older we actually stop and take time to see….more than when we were young and so busy.

Websters defines “Handiwork” as “work done by the hands; work done personally.”

We collected shells, and no two were the same. Continue reading God’s Handiwork →
