Peaceful easy feeling and giving THANKS our youngest is alive. As more details surface he began to realize he should not be here. Mention was made by him that he will not be riding his motorcycle for awhile. HE mentioned it. Even mentioned the I MIGHT SELL IT words.

We go to the doctor at 8 this morning to get re bandaged. We picked up a post op surgery shoe for him yesterday and a cane. Gosh those canes are expensive. I told him not to lose it as it would be Terry's size for later in life and it is a nice cane. We will know more once we see how things are healing. He felt better yesterday afternoon, so he probably will return home today or tomorrow.

My Neale Walsch email today talked about TRUTH. Truth spoken is a gift given. When truth is withheld a gift is denied. Part of an old adage says, "the truth hurts". If you think about it, the opposite is true. No truth is too hurtful. In the same breath, no lie is harmless. A truth will open your heart to another person. A lie will create a wall of separation.

They way you share a truth could be hurtful in how it is shared with both the given situation and tone of voice. So if you have something to share with someone that is truthful, speak your words in such a way that only peace and honestly come forth from you. It is funny how some folks lie so well and deliver those lies with a spoonful of honey making it easy for us to believe what they say. Didn't Tonto from the Lone Ranger say something about "You speak with a forked tongue."? Gosh I am old.

Watch what you say and do with those around you and if you must share some truth that could cause hurt, pray first that the Lord will give you the right words and a peace as you speak.

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 ...
