Okay I am behind more before I even started this morning. OUR POWER has been out since eleven yesterday morning. JUST came back on. I have only a few hours to work before Dad comes to visit so this is a SHORT blog today!

Terry and I did two and a half miles late yesterday so our walking continues. His dad joined us and then we went back to his place to visit and share memories. Always a pleasure. His dad is one of those light/joy passers and always leaves you feeling positive and uplifted when you leave his presence. Your worries and frustrations just melt away. He shared some cherished moments with us and made us chuckle. He lives in an apt condominium for the older folks and he was created a beautiful garden for the residents to sit in and enjoy. We were honored with a tour of the flowers and plants he is growing. The center is helping with benches strategically placed for residents to sit and enjoy his labors.

When I see things like this, and feel things like this, I know the Lord's power is strong and flowing straight through him and to all those he touches with his flower and his conversation. He never meets a stranger and he is kind to all. He lives life simply and is not ruffled much by the bumps knowing the Lord is in the drivers seat and he will get to the destination eventually, but meanwhile he concentrates on spreading joy and laughter and love.

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 ...
