Dear mom...

Mary Lee Brown Flemming (February 5, 1943-August 2, 2007)

For everyone who stopped by for "Michell's Weekly Pearl"...I apologize. Today marks the 6th anniversary of my mother's death. So, I'm dedicating today's post to her! If you'd like to read any of the other post in the "Michell's Weekly Pearl" series, you can click HERE to do so. Please come back next week. In the meantime, read  on...

Today, August 2, 2013, marks six years since my sweet mother Mary Lee Brown Flemming, went home to be with the Lord. I’ve found comfort every year on the anniversary of her death in writing her a letter. Nothing special, just a letter

Dear moms...

I know I told everyone to come back today for "Michell's Weekly Pearl", but I'll resume with that next Friday. However, it would be remiss of me to go into this weekend without paying tribute to all the wonderful mothers out there...know that you are loved and appreciated! So, I've pulled out an old post I did for Mother's Day back in October...IKR! I've tweaked it a little and it fits perfectly for this weekend!  In honor of all mothers and especially my lovely mother, Mary Lee Brown-Flemming, who passed away in 2007; who was, in my eyes, the epitome of

A Legacy of Grace...

This week my lovely mother would have celebrated her 70^th birthday. I think it’s ironic that over the past few weeks I have come across so many people who have told me how special my mother was to their lives. Wow, considering it's been 5 years since she's gone on to be with the Lord! They don’t know how much that meant to me. I always knew my mother was special! She was what you would call a quiet spirit. For as long as I’d known her, I never saw

The essence of friendship...

My blog post is a little different this week. In memory of my husband’s best friend and our children’s god-father (who passed away last week), I wrote this letter to him as a tribute to his friendship and wanted to share it. I’m sure if any of you have ever lost someone you loved, you can relate. Love you all and have a blessed week!

Are You there God? It's me__________!

Good morning ladies! Do you ever find yourself having one of those days? You know…one of those “does anyone even care” or "is it ever going to get better" kind of days? God tells us in His word that He remembers us. God IS NOT like man! When humans remember someone or something, it's because they have forgotten. God's remembering is on a totally different level! When He says He remembers us, He’s reminding us of His promise to NEVER

Happy Mothers Day...

No, I’m not trying to be facetious, but want to encourage you to not forget the most important part of motherhood – NOT the accolades, recognition of achievements, the hurrahs or praise, BUT the fact that God even gave us children to steward over (watch over, care for, train and love) in the first place. Because He obviously saw something in us that qualified us for this awesome position, we should count it as a GREAT honor! How well we do at it, however, is left up to us. The mother who invests in her child’s life will be the one that child loves and honors. In life there are a few things we must get right the first go around – raising our children happens to be one of them, unfortunately we don’t
