Today is the birthday of my mother Effie Mary Magdelene Hesler Wallace, 4-11-1932 - 4-12-1988 , My mother was just a common housewife no special career or community accomplishements....Not perfect or not flawless....But she had a relationship with God that I have only seen in a few....She did not leave money or treasures to us 4 kids but by all means she left more to us that would carry us thr...u the pains and failures that lifes bumps can bring.....she left us a legacy.. she taught us the knowledge of prayer, she taught us to love God and to live according to his commandments....she prayed for us dailey and fervently up to her death, she prayed for her children and her childrens children the ones that was not even born yet....all four children are christains and love God and some continueing what she had started.... her prayers were answered and are still being answered, we love you mom

A memory
As Chuck and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in Gatlinburg (Cosby) Tn, I was so inspired by the campground and beauty of the Mountains
> something I wrote about our trip,
> As we drove thru the heavily wooded road to the campground
> the sun peeped thru the trees, the mountains seemed to
> encase the area as to preserve its beauty, We parked and
> walked toward the exact place that as a child I was able to
> explore and view the awesome wonder of nature, Which to this
> day has instilled a love of Gods handy work, There was a
> dampness in the air we felt , The smells aromas, all such
> beauty and awesomeness, As we walked on this day also
> sharing the 30 years I had journeyed with My mate, We heard
> the voices of the creeks and streams made that flowed around
> the
> campground over huge rocks and small stones, Footbridges
> carried us over one to another that soon all flowed into one
> big creek, The beauty was breathtaking, We seem to lose
> track of time and worries but is not that how it should be,
> A small part of heaven on earth, We heard the loudness of
> the water cascading but still such a silent peace, As we
> left there was a sadness, but a joy, a fullfillment.
