Selfless Brotherly Love by Nancy
One night soon after our daughter had been placed with us, she was sleeping
while I was putting my son Jake to bed. As he lay there in the dark, he asked
me "Mom, who do you love more? Me or Elise?" As my mind raced through
each loving response—there's room in my heart for both of you— I've been
loving you alone for 7 years—I couldn't love either of you any more than I do, my little man's voice said, "Mom, you need to love Elise
as much as you love me." Jake had recently turned 8 and if he had been
80, he could not have been more wise. His selfless answer still
resonates just as if that yester-night was this very moment.

Exceptional Parents and Children Whose Faith has Touched the Hearts of Others
Meet Mary Lingle.
I thought I already had done that in December when I contracted her company to design the Dishing with Debbie website. Then, in February, I really met Mary, the mom. And I was moved by her faith walk. Here is Mary's incredible story of hope for others. From the cover of the Tyler Morning Telegraph.

A Mother's Loss Brings Her Face To Face With Baby She Helped Save
Two-year-old Candice Lingle painted with watercolors, did cartwheels and tumbled with her sister on a Sunday in early November 1993.
But that evening she went to bed early with a cold, not feeling well enough to eat dinner.
On Monday her parents took her to the pediatrician, and then to a Longview hospital for fluids where she suddenly had a seizure.

| Family's Flipping the Dish |
 |
| What began as a hope for celebrating what children are for, has become a smorgasbord for sharing family joy. |
Hi, I'm Debbie Davis. As a mother of two, I know family life can be filled with challenges. I also know it can be over flowing with laughter. Three years ago, I nearly lost my daughter. It sends a shiver up my spine, to know how close that came. When she was little, we were best buds. Then one day, she hated me.
Interestingly, during that time, I was told that all teens rebel. By the grace of God, I stumbled across a fresher recipe for greater joy.
I wanted to share that recipe with every mother I knew. Especially, since the ingredients were as easy as flipping the dish and celebrating family- together.
Please send in your favorite pictures, captions, poems, stories, artwork...anything that makes your heart sing will make our heart sing too!
