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~ View all posts by T.W.

Simple “Fix It”

Don’t do it.

…and I would change some things that I did…

One regret: My reaction to….

the “Momma Bear Syndrome”.

Now don’t give me that look.

You’ve all been stricken with it at some point or another.

It’s that uncontrollable urge to yell at the mother of the two year old child who just bit your two year old in the church nursery. And yes, you talked to her..you neglected to yell..but you took care of it. Continue reading Simple “Fix It” AKA “Momma Bear Syndrome” →

I Am Angry..Righteously of Course!!!

I am angry.

We left from the southwest part of Florida this morning very early.

And the plans were to drive 10 hours, plant it for the night..and complete the trip tomorrow.

But the retired UPS driver is driving and on a mission. Reservation canceled. We only have 4 hours and 22 minutes left. My body may not make it. I’m not as young as I used to be is just not a saying right now..it’s truth!!! Continue reading I Am Angry-Righteously of Course!! →

Simple Creation Lesson

Stop, look…..

out your front door.

We just got back from a vacation in Southwest Florida and God reminded me over and over how incredible His creation is…and that I so often take it for granted.

Maybe it is my age..but things look brighter, I see more details, creation indeed sings His praises.

What a great “kid” activity!
1.) Have your children go outside with a camera…a disposable one works great.
