Princess Peace
Princess Peace
Years ago, when I was 4 or 5 , I was trying out to be a Rodeo Princess in our little town. I remember being so nervous this, after all, was the most important day of my life up to this point.
My Mom could tell how nervous I was, as only a mother would know. I was about to get on my horse and my Mom said, "Why don't you say a little prayer and put it in the hands of Jesus, He already knows the outcome." Simple advice, as I did that; a peace came over me, the contest did not seem to be such a big deal. Now as I look back, I don't even remember if that was the year I won; I really don't think it was. The lesson of Peace is what I have used and never forgotten. My Mom gave me a lesson that day about walking with Jesus in everything, "Put it in his hands, do your best. He has the outcome, all will be fine." Doing this step by step has made my life an adventurous joy to live.
In closing I come to Psalms 145:12 "Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace." NIV
My mom has been a CornerStone in my life. I pray I can give my boys what my mom has given me. "Yes, I need to put them in the hands of Jesus and do my best."
Thanks Mom
I loved this precious story. Great picture too! You are right on track. Blessings, Shelly

What a blessing to have a mother who taught you such a valuable lesson at such an early age, Lisa! The gift of peace is so precious, and so many people lack it in their lives. I pray that you and I both, with God's help, will continue to share that peace with others. Thank you for the blessing you are to me!

I loved your stories sis! You have such a way of writing to the heart. I come to your website often to see if there is anything new! Keep writing and I would bet that you could publish a short novel or a series of short stories. I love it!!!

I enjoyed this story. Those simple yet powerful lessons we learn from Godly parents we sometimes have to relearn in adulthood when we make things too complicated.
