QUILT AT NANIE'S HOUSE Impressions by Laurie Justus Pace

5 x 7 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contact me for pricing. Email: Laurie



Remember when? I remember playing under the quilting group at church where my grandmother would quilt. I remember running and playing in the wash at my Aunt Marie's house when my grandmother and I would hang wash and I thought it ever so much fun to run between the sheets hanging double and triple rowed across the backyard. Days of no responsibility and all discovery.

God wants us to be like a child in our faith. Run through those sheets in feel his love and the warmth of the sun!

I could use that warmth today. It is six thirty a.m. and the old heater which should have been replaced last week just died. There was a loud rackety rack noise as if the fan blades where speeding up and slowing down, like a shifting of gears.... a clatter and vibrations. I just left the blog and computer and threw off the switch next to it listening to it gravel and grumble as I did...hubby was on the phone with me...he basically told me to deal with it and hung up on me.

Shall we take vote on where I go now? I have an open house this afternoon for parents and children. No heat to go with the no doors hung yet, no working hot water in the guest bathroom, and no help with preparations for today. Mix that in with the huge hole and trench dug through my patio visible from all windows with a humongous pile of dirt and concrete next to it.

RUN LIKE A CHILD WITH FAITH....and call an electrician to deal with the light switches so I finally have light in my bathroom (So I do not have to screw in and out the bulbs for power), a furnace repair man to replace the heater (Of course this is Saturday...no way to get a new one on the weekend) and a carpenter to hang my doors. We have been here almost two months. I shake my head in wonderment. I need to unplug the computer and the TV. Maybe things would get finished up.

On the positive side my piano did arrive. I am hoping they plan to come and tune it as the lower end is way out of whack. I hope to pick up the extra piano bench my mom has and find the box with my music in it. I played while last night and it felt so good! Maybe that is what I will do right now so I don't have a meltdown.

Grace,
Laurie

Good lord that's been a crazy mess! Glad to hear about Morgan, send my congrats when you see him next and stay warm! It's been in the low single digits here at night and our heaters fall on their face around 32, I feel your pain...or maybe that should be a share your numbness. = )

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 ...
