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~

Simple Remembering and Reality

Sometimes it is easy
                             to forget
                                        what it was like having two children under the age of three
                                                                                                                                        at the same time.

It is almost as if when we get older we remember only the “good” things. The “good” times, when mothering was wonderful and smiles were everywhere. The house was clean, the boys were listening and you could hear the birds singing in the distance as dinner cooked and life was as it should be….oh wait, that must have been the 25th showing of Lion King!

Simple Listening-Less Talking

Simple Listening-Less Talking

“Did you enjoy practice?” “Yeah”

“What did you learn today in school?”

Universal Answer-“Nothing”

Conversations never seemed to end when they are younger. Conversations never seemed to start when they became teens.

If I had any advise I would give a parent today it would be…..talk to your kids, but do more listening. Continue reading Simple Listening-Less Talking →
