I want to hurry through my blog this morning so I can go walk. The temperatures are in the sixties and I want to be out there! We still have a strong wind but it feels good.

Terry has one more week of vacation. He has several projects he has attacked and I am hoping they get finished. Today we are helping move my dad to a new facility and praying every step of the way that the care will be good here.

I will write more tomorrow... the day is escaping and The sun is up and I want to walk before we have to go pack Dad up.

Yesterday we ate a late lunch wtih Justin at Abocca's in Richardson. I had to get art supplies at Asel Art. Catcing up we covered every subject of our loved ones.

When Terry and I left I started humming my latest song by the Beatles "there are places I remember.... all my life..." and my brain sings the song through over and over. The changes right now are so dramatic. Night and Day....black and white with very little bleed over to gray. Reminds me of how children grow so fast. 18 years in child's life show DRAMATIC changes in body, emotions and mind. Then going from age 20 and up... we live our next 65 years trying to stay young. We fight and complain as our bodies continue to change and we want to be twenty again. Learning to SEE what is there around us that we have been ignoring is so important. There is beauty in every stage of our life. We must learn to accept and embrace what we have today.

Find yourself today. Love yourself today. Love what God created and celebrate your gifts!


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 ...
