Good morning...actually pretty late morning for me to be blogging. We were up till midnight last night packing for shipping. I then was reading one of the Oprah books. More on that on another blog when it is not Mon or Tues and I am split ten directions. This is one of the times I need to take a meditating moment.

I am BEHIND on painting. But errands must occur today first. FEDEX and a trip to Justin TX to pick up some stuff we left behind.

The other book I have been reading is entitled HELP, LORD! I'M HAVING A SENIOR MOMENT by Karen OConnor. Terry and I laugh every night when I read the next story. Maybe I can share a few with you.

"Dear God,
I like this one! An older man from Phoenix phoned his son in New York with some bad news. "Son, I don't mean to ruin your day, but I need to tell you something important. Your mother and I are divorcing. Forty five years of misery is enough for both of us."

"Dad, do you realize what you're saying? You can't be serious," the son pleaded.

"It's true. We Can't take another moment of being together. I don't want to discuss it any further. It's settled. Call your sister in Chicago and let her know." The old man hung up.

Frantic the son called his sister, who exploded on the phone. "Like Heck they're getting divorced," she shouted, "Sit tight. I'll handle this."

She called her father in Phoenix and yelled into the phone. "You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling Dick back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, stay put," she shouted. "DO YOU HEAR ME?" Then she hung up.

The older man put down the phone and turned to his wife, a wry smile crossing his face as he spoke. "Okay" he said, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own fares. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?"

Lord, you remind us in your word: "Listen to your father, who gave you life and do not despise your mother when she is old". Proverbs 23:22.

Surely your wisdom and the parents' good humor will knit their hearts together.

Smiles,
Laurie

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
