Wednesday is here already! My day is already laid out before it starts but that is okay. God is in charge and I trust in the path he has ahead for me.

I immediately am asking prayer for my sister-in-law's mother, Sharon. I cannot share much as I only have sketchy information, but she is in intensive care following a pretty bad car accident late yesterday.

From one minute to the next we never know what is unfolding in our lives. We can only live for this moment right now and trust in Him to know what is in the path ahead. There were always be obstacles and challeng. Some will be tougher than others. That is where I am today as many of you, in a crossroads of insecurity not knowing what will unfold with this recession and our lives for the future. Layoffs are happening in all companies. American Airlines is reported a huge loss for third quarter. That affects us.

The bible tells us not to worry about those things. One of my favorite chapters in the bible is Matthew 6. I added a link for those of you that do not have a bible handy. It covers several important things in our lives to reflect on, but today I am looking at verses 25-34. Worry cannot add anything to our lives. It will not solve anything, it will not cure anyone, it will not mend anything, it will not add anything to your life in any way. Medical study has proven it only takes away from your life... it causes depression and reduces your life span and can lead to heart attacks etc.

It is our responsibility to help each other through the times of worry. I imagine those first fleeting thoughts of worry are okay and are actually useful as you can turn to God in prayer and refocus on something else. Sometimes Worry is like Fear... a little goes a long way, but do not allow it to eat up your life and consume your everyday. Leave that to our Father. He knows what we need before we know what we need. We are precious to Him, is He precious to you?

Grace, Laurie


"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34.

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 ...
