They mean so much to me. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your precious mother. She sounds like such a wonderful person and someone I would have loved to have known. I lost my precious husband one month after you lost your mother. We would have been married forty years the following month after his passing. I've been away from my graphic's work and blogging for the past year, except for an occasional post here and there. I was living in a fog for that year. I began to awaken from it this past Oct and am trying to get back into "normal life". Your mother's words, "I don't always understand God, but I trust Him." are so very true for me as I learn to live now as a single, differently abled woman. I don't know what I would do without my Lord, my son and family, and my friends, both on and off line. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here on your beautiful blog. They have truly been a part of my healing process, a balm, and have made my day and life better. ♥Betty Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475038702140830260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-49708623445173667302010-01-20T15:06:04.018-05:002010-01-20T15:06:04.018-05:00what an amazing legacy of love your mother left yo...what an amazing legacy of love your mother left you.....and what an amazing daughter you are to share that love with us all...Thank you!BumbleBee Bagzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742214542152254726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-6539527694514675132010-01-18T13:21:40.716-05:002010-01-18T13:21:40.716-05:00Hi Traci, I have been reading your blog for a coup...Hi Traci, I have been reading your blog for a couple months now, and just wanted you to know that because of the stories you tell, the uplifting words about God and how He has touched your family's lives, I realized that I had drifted from Him. I now have that closeness back that I once had and was missing not too long ago. He has done so much in my marriage, mothering and friendships, and I just feel like shouting on my rooftop how special He is to me. Your blog is so encouraging, especially the Wednesdays with Wanda. I love reading about how special your mom was. Just thought I would let you know that you have made a difference in my life! Hope that helps on days when you don't feel that you're making a difference!Lindsey M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-27724974402841300082010-01-16T13:05:54.238-05:002010-01-16T13:05:54.238-05:00Such a beautiful testament to your mom and how she...Such a beautiful testament to your mom and how she lived her life in Christ.

But some of us get so bogged down in with worldly troubles that it can be really difficult to find our way to that life, even when it is our heart's desire. For me, the stories of your mother's life are a compass, and you, dear Traci, are a lovely arrow pointing the way. <br />Instead of coming to your funeral one day and saying to your children, "You don't know me, but your mother made such an impact on my life," let me say to you now, that this little thing you do every Wednesday matters tremendously in my life, and I thank you for your uplifting inspirations.Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614883272562075832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-17359790144308857492010-01-13T16:45:56.998-05:002010-01-13T16:45:56.998-05:00Traci....Your posts are a gift from God/your Mom.....Traci....Your posts are a gift from God/your Mom....I wrote before that my Mom has been gone for 20 yrs +.....and I still miss her....your writings encourage...and inspire all of us to give from our hearts....I so look forward to Wednesdays with Wanda....it is my fav blog..PLUS you are one handy thrifty gal that I admire!!!!

I know it is such a blessing to see the lives that she has touched.<br /><br />My dad had been interviewed on t.v., the radio and the paper several times over the years, and when he passed one of the reporters did a story about how much my dad had touched his life (and others). It just really blessed my family to see him honor my dad like that.<br /><br />What a blessing to know that your mom's life goes on and on, and her Godly example will live on in others.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-71468282427492141112010-01-13T16:05:36.781-05:002010-01-13T16:05:36.781-05:00Traci, This is a beautiful post, as usual.

Some of us stay at home moms don't always see our purpose past taking care of our families. I shared your blog post from last Wednesday, it fit right in with what we were talking about.

I don't know how many times I've pulled up you site for a friend to read your Feet posting, or how many times I've told your story to others, in need of an encouraging word.. Even Sunday I spent the whole Sunday School hour outside the Sunday school classroom talking to my Friend who's mother is suffering my Dementia, meanwhile her sister is taking my Friend to court to get custody of her mom, It is breaking my Friend's heart, But I was able to convey your posting on It Matter's from last week and we were both blessed.

You mother sounds like a wonderful woman and inspiration, and you seem to follow in her footsteps. <br /><br />You could say that in creating this blog you're touching the lives of so many the way she did - sharing ideas for making a happy home, spreading the word of Christ, or even leaving a kind comment on a fellow blogger's site. These are all ways you're touching us, Traci. Although that's not to say an apple pie wouldn't be a huge hit at our house. :) Thank you!Jenn @ Livin' the Simple Lifehttp://livinthesimplelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-83269175975696974912010-01-13T11:01:40.814-05:002010-01-13T11:01:40.814-05:00hit.the.spot.hit.the.spot.tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358329699057564528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-76740849453337333672010-01-13T10:41:00.668-05:002010-01-13T10:41:00.668-05:00Your mom sounded like an amazing woman!
