Well, the hurricane is on all channels. My brother and mother are going to drive north to Bonham this morning to visit my dad. I am 50/50 on going as I spent the day shopping with mother yesterday and I really need to stick around here and I am not the best car rider in the back seat when driving through major weather. They are predicting the rains to be here later this afternoon. At the rate the storm keeps changing paths, we may not see as much rain here in Dallas at all...but where Dad is, is north east of here and that is in the path of heavier rain.

Last night we dropped by The Dutch Art Gallery after my brother called and said, DID YOU KNOW there is a wine and cheese party tonight? NO we did not. We were sitting at the table eating homemade brushetta, homemade speghetti and meathballs and thick yummy desserts from Henk's in Dallas. I was even miserable when we went to bed last night! The exhibit is nice.

I took these pictures the day they were hanging things at The Dutch Art Gallery.





Yesterday morning BEFORE mother called I was cleaning house. That has to be finished today. I cleaned out some bathroom cabinets as well and tossed many unneeded things. Again thinking on the lines of simplifying life. She wanted to go see the show yesterday, shop at Pier One, and do an exchange at Khols. I bought Stacey some Maternity things at Khol's and at Pier One I am considering a table with some pretty cool chair to put in the dining room. I moved Terry's fifties table from his mom into the breakfast area. Now the kitchen and breakfast room look so nice! I keep shifting things around trying to find the right niches. I also picked up some wine racks for some of the wine we had shipped from NY. Much to do today besides paint and I am more eager to paint than do anything else.

Today would be a great day to encourage someone. When you take that time you begin to actually see their inner divine nature. When you take that time you direct your energy into them and you encourage them to reach beyond what they believe that can do. Your words of assurance can boost new thoughts and new direction and from that new joy.

What can I encourage you to do today?

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 ...
