Friday dawns and there is a light of HOPE! We have hot water back. The plumber arrived late yesterday and finished up the gas manifolds needed to divert the gas into three directions, the water heater, the new gas furnace and the stove. The HVAC folks are due back in the next hour and will finish hooking up all the new returns they put in yesterday. SO hopefully heat will be here this afternoon as the temps are plunging outside.

The fall out is the huge amount of dirt and dust everywhere. It will take us days to get the house back under control but at least it will be warm inside as we work. Together we can do this with the Lord watching over us.

He is on guard all the time despite the disparity we often fall into. We have been living here for almost two months as we have struggled with more repairs on this older home. Trying to stay focused on this is even harder when you have the flu. Terry laughed this morning as I sportingly controlled the TV Remote and the DVD remote so I could watch the last 45 minutes of Donovan's Reef. I feel asleep last night and missed the ending. I love John Wayne movies.
I never watch TV. Often it is on in the studio, but always on the same channel...abc all day. I have never bothered to learn the remote. After 7 days in bed in the same room, the rest of the house freezing, I learned to make friends with this rectangular object. Something positive in a way!

Enjoy your Friday and know I am going to be on my knees giving major thanks as the heat is cranked on!


Grace,
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 ...
