Mother's Day 2016

Robyn sent me these on Mother's Day! Delicious! What a blessing to have a daughter that appreciates you and shows you how much you are loved. God is good!

2016 May 8th Mother's Day

After Church & SS at FBCW Bob & I drove over to Emily & Hungs new house that they are buying 5/15 and got to walk through it with them. Then we all went to a Mothers Day Brunch at the Rivermont Country Club that is in the subdivision where they are living now. It was a great Mother's Day! Thank you Father God! 

My Pawpaw

An Eulogy by Mrs. Emily Truong

                                                     Hansel Hester 9-4-1930 ~ 3-16-2016     

     Some of us new him as “Hansel”, some as “Hank”, and some very dear to him as “Hester”, I knew him as “Pawpaw, Pee paw, Peeps, Pops”…

     As a kid, he reminded me of a big Oak tree… sturdy, reliable, always there, strong, safe. His  branches reached to the sky, nothing could knock him over. He would sit in his rocking chair reading his papers or his mystery novel, like the world was his kingdom and he was the king. He never seemed afraid, weak, or worried. 

     He drove that lawnmower around the yard like it was his chariot, and that yard was his masterpiece. He took so much pride in that yard and the beauty it showed and I think he enjoyed being alone and pondering while working in it. He never said much about his thoughts and feelings but I wondered all the time what he was thinking. He was a man of few words. And every once in awhile he would let one of us youngsters, that were tearing up that beautiful yard, ride on his chariot. And for a moment he would let us be the king or queen. 

     He was my Pawpaw, and he could do anything. And then there was the funny side of him…always telling a little joke here and there and most of the time you were the butt of that joke. But if you turned it back around on him, he would laugh, he loved to laugh. And his smile would make you smile. 

     One thing you gotta have in this family is “thick skin”. He would say, “whaddaya say Em”?. He would roll his eyes up and give a crazy look at Me maw or one of us grand kids for something we did or didn’t do. He tried to be the grouchy old man, but we could all see through that. He would yell at us, “shut the refrigerator door, take your shoes off, clean up after yourself”. And we would just yell back at him, “OK, OK old man”! And Me maw was the only one that knew how to put him in his place. She controlled every move he made, even though he wouldn’t ever admit to that. 

     As I got older, I saw more of what Pawpaw loved…He was devoted to his wife, he loved Me maw. He would bend over backwards for her, maybe complaining, but he would do whatever she asked. He was committed to his family. He loved his family. He would drive hours to see family. He spent every Holiday with family. He has been to many baseball, football, basketball, and school functions, for his grand kids and great grand kids. He was a true patriot. He loved his country. He was honored to have had the opportunity to serve his country. 

   

 We will all miss this oak tree of a man, for many different reasons…I will miss the stash of gum he carried around everyday, I will miss seeing him in that rocking chair, I will miss seeing him at my kids games and school functions, I will miss him giving us a hug good bye and saying,  "come see us again soon", I will miss his sweet smile, and the smell of his cologne, his button up shirts that he wore even to do yard work, his light blue, off-brand crocks that he wore, and all the other insignificant things, that most people wouldn’t think twice about. These memories I have will always be in my heart and mind because he’s My "Pawpaw".

HANSEL HESTER ~ Acrostic

H. HEAVEN is for real and Hansel our beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother-in-law, Uncle, Cousin, Co-Worker, Friend is in Heaven!

A. Assurance just takes FAITH and our Father God has given us all that tiny 'mustard seed' of faith to believe in His Son Jesus Christ.

N. Not by our works of righteousness but only by JESUS CHRIST do we step out of this life into our eternal life with our creator Father God.

S. Salvation is our HOPE and we can have this hope today by repenting of our sins and believing in Jesus Christ and making Him Lord of our life.

E. Everlasting LIFE is our destiny and it will be either with our Father God or without our Father God and He has given us that choice to make during our life time.

L. LOVE was how our Father God made the way for us and that was not a coincidence that Hansel passed on 3:16! For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Son and whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life! John 3:16

H. Hester was a good man whom we loved and will miss dearly!

E. Entered earth on September 4, 1930.

S. Son of Robert Lamar Hester and Claudia Spivey of Uvula, Ga.

T. Trained us how to love our family and to bear with one another in love.

E. Entered Heaven on 3/16/16.

R. Resting now in Heaven and wanting us to join him. Will you make that choice today by asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart by faith? We will be praying for all our family and friends. May God bless you and as Hansel Hester would say, "AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Winters Silence

There are no singing birds

nor a single chirp chirp heard,

from the stray bird.

There are no frogs a croking

nor the katydids, 

nor cricket.

There are no squirrels a running

nor the rabbits hopping or 

the deer showing their faces.

Even the neighbors water fall

is turned off 

and silent.

O the sounds of winter...silence!

And O how our hearts can grow cold

during these months of winter

unless we use these months wisely 

to read God's Word and restore our souls.

My Prayer Closet

the long black mat

On my front porch

there was a mat

it was long

and it was black.

There were little rows

some narrow & wide and

I would send them down 

to the screened door finish side.

Down they went

round, round, round,

down they'd race and 

stack, stack, stack.

That was my game 

that I would play

on my front porch

on rainy days.

That's all it took

with my formation

a bunch of marbles

and a young imagination.

lllbh 3/1/2016 I woke up at 4am and pinned this poem about my childhood while living in Little Five Points area on 1046 Washita Avenue in Atlanta Georgia 30307 and Jackson 4-1267 was my phone number. 

My Yellow Room

MY YELLOW ROOM

I loved my room,

my yellow room,

as it took away

my morning gloom.

The two green swinging doors

that lead into my room

were so cute to me

as they would swish & swoosh.

I would swish into the closet

and out to my front door.

I would swoosh into my room

and outside onto the patio floor.

My room was very nice

for a young teenage girl,

but I took life for granted

not knowing the Creator of my world.

Not thinking of anything

but me, myself and I.

I would lock myself up

in my yellow room and cry.

Then one night, from a far away country,

two missionaries came into my room.

They shared how God's love

could take away my gloom.

As they sat with me on the end of my bed,

we read through the “four spiritual laws”

and they ask if I would bow my head.

“Jesus, will you come into my heart?” I said,

and out of my yellow room,

through those two green doors I swirled,

a brand new teenage girl

trusting in God the Savior of my world!

What are you reaching for? 1/22/16

The pic below shows Bob & I reaching for a box of Kleenex that got out of our reach last night. We laughed & finally Bob used something to bring it closer so he could reach it. I thought it was so funny to see our fingers reaching out for the box of Kleenex that I said, "Let me take a pic of our fingers reaching." Then as I pondered on this pic this morning, I felt that God was saying, "What are you reaching for in your life?" Are you reaching for those things which are ahead (Phil 3:13NKJV)or are you reaching for things that will leave you behind and unbelieving? (John 20:27NKJV) Thank God we have a Savior Jesus who loves us and died for us and said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing," (John 20:27 NKJV) All it takes is a mustard seed of Faith that even JESUS will give to you, if you will just reach out to Him.

CHRISTMAS 2015

St Paul's Presbyterian Church 12/2015

2015 December 8th

Ephesian's 1:7-8 I just read this verse for my quiet time with the Lord! Verse 5 says, For 

He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [becaused it pleased Him and was His kind intent]---[so that we might be] to the praise of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. God my Abba "Daddy" is SO good and loves ALL OF HIS CHILDREN IN THE BELOVED JESUS HIS SON WHO WAS SACRIFICED FOR OUR REDEMTION BACK TO HIMSELF.  

Breakfast at JChristopher's

Bob & I have started going to Breakfast or should I say Brunch on Sat mornings after he gets out from playing racquet ball at LAFitness. We have been going to the city area of Woodstock Ga and eating outside if the weather permits. Today, Nov 28, 2016 was one of those unusually beautiful fall days in Georgia that welcomed us to the outside dining experience. Mine and Bobs favorite breakfast dish is the triditional which includes eggs, bacon, grits and bread and Bob always substitutes a pancake for his bread. Today was such a warm & sunny day and as I sat there I felt the sun on my shoulder so I turned and beheld this beautiful image in my eyes and I couldn't resist taking this gorgeous photo. I love the fall season! Just wished it would last a little longer.

Frances Isobel Davis Lance Burial 2006

November 28, 2006, eight days after Mom has passed, we buried her ashes at 10am at the Crestlawn Cemetary in Atlanta Ga, then at 3 pm we had a Memorial Service at Woodstock Ga Funeral Home. Emily had to stay home with her baby Holland as he was sick. Robyn stayed home in Arizona as she had sickness in her family too. These are Moms family that were able to attend from left to right top row: Tim Watts, Hung Truong,Bob Lance(my oldest brother), Rick Lance(my brother),Michaella (Cathy) Lazarus(my sister), Me (Linda Lance Briscoe Hester), Richard Briscoe, Gabriel Hester, Lisa Lance Dunn, First Row: Cherie Lance Watts, Myrna Riggins Lance, Glenda Thomas Lance, Moriel Lazarus, Bob Hester, Ansley Hester, Randolf Briscoe, Dana Mitchel Hester. Hung resided as the clergy and led us in prayer and a mini sermon. My oldest brother Bob read Psalms 23 and my sister played her flute and we all sang hymns together and then we reminisced of the good times that we had with our Mother and Grandmother Lance. It was a partly cloudy, not too cold fall day. Then we buried Moms ashes that were in a beautiful Irn Vault beside her husband and our Father and Grandfather, Waldo Emerson Lance who passed on Aug 19th 1969. To God be the Glory for great things he hath done for us and He will continue to do! Come to Him ALL you people!!! God Bless Your Hearts!

Thanksgiving Day 2015 I wrote the wrong year on pic

Israel Olive Tree 2016 Neot Golf

facing rejection

12 years later I find this letter in a folder that my husband marked 'Cards from Family'! Wow, he has saved ALL the cards from his family! Well, in 2003 he must have been going through his own personal struggle of life and I must have been promted to rewrite a devotion for him to encourage him.  

We will ALL face personal rejection and personal criticism too. The question is posed, "How will we meet (rejection)/criticism"? Jesus gave us His life as an example for us during our struggles here on earth. Hopefully you will read this short devotion and be encouraged to fulfill God's purpose for your life.

 May God bless you on your life journey!  I love you ALL!!!

the garden flowers...

The Garden Flowers

 

These flowers were sent to you

in hopes that you will see,

the beauty of the Lord's bounty

throughout eternity.

Just looking at these flowers,

and all their many hues,

reflects God's Glory

that He is certainly due.

The flowers from our garden

and the words of the Bible say,

that the flowers may fade away

but the Words of our God will stay.

These flowers were sent to you

to help us all realize,

that God loves us so much more,

than the flowers may disguise.

tears in heaven...

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?

 

I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.

 

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven?

 

I'll find my way

Through night and day,

'Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven.

 

Time can bring you down,

Time can bend your knees.

Time can break your heart,

Have you begging please, begging please.

 

Beyond the door,

There's peace I'm sure,

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven.

 

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?

 

I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.

sin is like a store bought blueberry muffin

I am sitting here at the pool of a Disney Resort called Port Orleans Riverside, near the '95' building where we are staying and preparing for my first morning at the pool. I just got back from the resort hotel where I purchased a scrumptous looking, mouth watering, blueberry mufin.  After my first bite of this muffin, I realized that the taste wasn't near to what I had expected it to be.  Compared to the looks of the muffin, the taste and the consumtion was no where near what my hopes and desires were wanting it to taste like.  Then I began to realize, that is how sin is. It deceives us! We look at something and think how wonderful it will be if we had it, and the enjoyment that it will give us, but the consequences of our sin far - far - far out weights the enjoyment that it gives us.

peace

                            

I look at this picture and it means PEACE to me.

The lady sitting in her beach chair, reading a book

and feeling the ocean breeze blowing on her face.

She is finally getting to relax at the beach on her

vacation from the cares of this world. But after her

vacation, she comes back to the reality of her world,

realizing that her peace did not last very long. Then

she understands that she needs “The Prince of Peace”

living inside of her soul to have an everlasting peace.

Jesus wants us to have His Peace, resting in knowing

that He has taken care of ALL the cares of this world.

From the day we confess that we are sinners and ask

Him to forgive us, and to save our souls. This step

of faith, that He even gives us to start with, will give

us His PEACE that passes ALL understanding.

The peace that we go on vacations for, we can have

everyday of our lives and for eternity.

John 16:33; Is 9:6; Eph 2:8-9; Phil 4:7; John 17:3

the three gifts

Have you ever wondered what the three gifts that the three wise men brought to the Baby Jesus were representing? Well let’s take a closer look at these three gifts and see what God was showing us.

The First Wise Man brought Gold to the Baby Jesus. Gold is a precious metal that is worth a lot of money, in those days and now. A gift of Gold was given to Kings. The First Wise Man knew that Jesus was a King. Jesus is our eternal, everlasting King for now and when we go to Heaven.

The Second Wise Man brought the baby Jesus Frankincense. This was an oil that when it was burned the fragrance went up to Heaven for God to smell. God wanted them to do this for Him while they prayed to Him. After Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead three days later, He is our fragrance that God smells for us instead of our stinky sins. Because of what Jesus did in obedience to God’s command, we can now go boldly before God’s throne and pray directly to Him through Jesus our Savior.

The Third Wise Man brought the baby Jesus Myrrh. Myrrh is an oil that was used to dress the body after death. This gift was a foreshadowing of Jesus’ life. The baby Jesus would grow up and live on earth and die for our sins and rise from the dead on the third day. Because He did this in obedience to God’s command, we now are clothed in His “robe of righteousness”. This robe covers ALL of our sins from the beginning of the world until we pass away from this world to Heaven.

The next time you see someone on the street holding a sign that says, “Buy Gold”, remember that first gift of Gold that was brought to the baby Jesus; the King of Kings was brought Gold on his Birthday to testify to the world that He is the King of Kings on earth and in Heaven.

The next time you pray to God, remember that second gift of frankincence that was brought to the baby Jesus. And the only reason you can pray to our Holy God and come boldly before His Throne, is because Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose again so you can live forever.

The next time you put on your robe at night, remember that third gift of Myrrh that was brought to the baby Jesus. And remember that you have a robe of righteousness to wear everyday, when you repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come to live in your heart as Lord of your life. 

(this was my way of giving 3 gifts to our grandchildren, Ansley & Gabriel on 2011 Christmas night at our house)

foundations

Psalm 11:3 says   ...
If the foundations are destroyed
What can the righteous do?

The foundations are what we
build upon ... the early years
that we teach our young

The foundations are what we
live upon ... the word of God
being number one.

The foundations must not be destroyed
teach upon ... your little ones.

God intrusted to you
Moms and Dads ... you are the ones
and God will equip you to teach
your little ones.

Linda / Mom / Grandma-Nana-Chacha
I remember when I was a little girl,
being taught the foundations of the
Bible, God's Living Words...The Lord's
Prayer, The Ten Commandments, Psalms
23 and 100, I memorized all of these.

she felt alone

She saw the house standing in an unusually rundown way, and
she felt worried, so she cried out to God.

She checked the paper to make sure that she was at the right house, and
she felt the need to close her eyes to pray.

She walked around to the back of the house with no hope, and
she felt her heart skip a beat as she took a deep breath.

She walked up 

the rickety back stairs, and 

she felt her knees tremble.

She was lead to sit down 

on the living room couch to wait, and
she felt God say...

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

She felt God's strength as
she got up off of the couch and 

walked out of the living room.

She felt her knees sturdy as
she walked down the rickety back stairs.

She felt her heart beating strong as she took a deep breath, and
she walked around to the front of the house with new hope.

She felt the need to close her eyes to pray, and
she crumbled up the paper that had taken her to the house.

She felt relieved after crying out to God, and she now saw the house standing 

in a totally different way, because...

She felt me, and she was not alone.

You created my inmost being; you knit me toether in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14  Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  Psalm 139:23-24

Out of the blue, my mother told me this story, how she had gone to an illegal abortionist in 1948 to take my life and how
she sat on a couch in someone's living room and her mind was miraculously changed by God; she then got up off of the couch and left. She wanted me to know this, that God loved me, and He wanted me to live, and that she loved me too.  I took care of my Mom in the later years of her life.  She passed away at the age of ninety-three.  If out of the blue you read her story, then hopefully you will see as my mother did, that God has a purpose for your life and the life of your little one too.  Close your eyes as my mother did, and pray to God, asking Him to lead you, and to give you new hope, because you are not alone!

a hole in my soul

I feel a hole in my soul,

Now that my son beholds.

God and Jesus and Holy Spirit are in his sight.

I grieve, but I know that he is allright.

When the hole in my soul is whole again,

I will beholding Jesus.

And I won't feel that hole in my soul.

filled with kisses

My cousins drew pictures
and put them in their balloons.
And my Momma ask me...
"What are you gonna put in
your balloon, Honey?" and I said...

I'm gonna fill my balloon with kisses
for my Daddy who's in Heaven.
Will you take my kisses to Daddy
and tell him I love YOU!

My cousins were there with me
on that memorial weekend day.
The balloons were blue, my Daddy's
favorite color and sometimes the
way we feel inside when we miss him.

I'll see you again, Daddy,
because I believe in Jesus.
Just like you prayed for me to do.
When you and Momma dedicated me
on that February morn.

And my Daddy said...
Chunky Monkey,
Thank you for your kisses that you
flew up to me today!
It's OK, Gracie, everything is OK!
I'll see you again one Day!
I love you too!

deeds

Deeds

Your heart is full

from God's

"Well Done Indeed"

Not from the

response of

the one to whom

the deed was done.

For what if the

one to whom the deed

was done,

did not exclaim

"well done indeed"!

And if you

counted on them

to make your

heart full,

from your thoughts of

their misdeed

of no response,

you will

indeed fall

into the trap

called,

"Self-Pit-Deed"

my daddy's shoes

My Daddy's Shoes

I walked with my Daddy

till I didn't see him one day.

Hand in hand we use to play.

An angel took him away.

He was only forty-two and

I had just started walking.

I'll walk in my Daddy's shoes,

cause my Mommy wants me to.

He ask her to train me up,

to believe in God's promises.

My Daddy believed that

Jesus gave His life for me!

I'll walk in my Daddy's memories,

cause they're kept alive for me,

through lots of pictures and

funny videos to see.

Everybody loved him and they want me

to remember how much he loved me.

I'll walk with my Daddy again,

when I see him on that Day.

We will walk hand and hand to play,

nothing will take us away

from God's promised land,

cause we just started walking.

Eternally YOURS

Eternally YOURS

One Red Leaf

I looked at the tree

and thought of me

as only one red leaf

was left at the top, you see.

I thought about my life

as I looked at this tree,

that use to be so full

of caring for my family.

My family is gone now

the nest is termed empty

just like this last leaf

it makes me feel whimsy.

Life cycle is fast

but at first not so,

then fall and winter and

strangely it goes.

Then I was bereaved

bare as a bone

until I realized

I was not all alone.

Spring it started budding

with God’s Grace abounding

each branch is full now

and my family’s astounding!

I looked back at the tree

at the one red leaf so bold,

beyond its barrenness

I realized that God is in control.

to choose

to stay in the womb is not our choice

to be born into this sinful world isn't either

our choice comes at the age of accountability

that is the most important choice of all

to choose to serve the Lord God Almighty

the One who formed your inward parts

the One who covered you in your mother's womb

the One who appointed the date and place and time you were born

the One who gives you the faith of a mustard seed to choose

and that may bring you strife, but
"YOU MAY" meet the One who will
give you Eternal Life! Romans 6:23

You may never talk with me
and that's the way life's been, but
"YOU MAY" talk with the Son of God
who died for ALL your sins! John 3:16

You may never walk with me
and that's because I'm old, but
"YOU MAY" walk one day with me
on Heavens streets of Gold! Revelation 21:18

The reason I say "YOU MAY"
is because you must choose, the
gods of this world, or
The Lord God who made YOU! Joshua 24:15
