We are out the door shortly for Whole Foods and shopping. Last time I took my camera in there they confiscated it. Can you believe that? I wanted to take pictures of flowers and garden center and people drinking coffee and they said NO. They didn't want competitors taking pictures of how they set things up. I have to respect their privacy, but I love shopping there. We have been organic buyers for 15 years now. From the net veggie bags to the canvas tote bags, we have saved many trees in 15 years. I might suggest that as gifts for folks you don't know what to get them try this site:

I am thinking I bought my canteen there too. Yep, I try NOT to use the plastic water bottles either. We also use safe deodorant, shampoo and soaps. The Laurel Sulfate found in 99.9 percent of your personal hygiene stuff is total cancer causing. And you wash your hair how often? I guess Terry and I rarely think about it anymore after 15 years. I remember when I changed the toothpaste out on him, you would have thought I cut him off of coffee. He loved Mentadent. I substituted Uncle Tom's then, we use Jason's now. He was gagging with his toothbrush. I made him keep it up ONE WEEK. Then allowed him to try the Mentadent back and he gagged not wanting to go back. All the toothpastes are pretty deadl with their sweetners. Do some internet research. There were reasons why we did what we did 15 years ago. It takes a small adjustment period but well worth it in health risks.

Are my kids organic? NO. They are lazy and think as all young people do, they are invincible.
So far the only invincible thing I can come up with is God. When googling this subject there was quite a bit to look through. Lots of Christian music out there celebrating the fact. What I recommend is that you hold your consciousness on a direction that is focused on GOD. He alone is the prime directive of pure spiritual power. Like walking on the water. Jesus walked on the water and called to his friends to come on out...the water was good. Peter followed Him, but the instant he took his eyes off of Jesus, he began to sink.

My friends that is what happens in our lives. We take our eyes off of God and we sink. All the failures and negative experiences are learning tools and hopefully you learn to keep your eyes on Him. We are powerless without His grace. Our confidence should not be in ourselves, but in Him to provide and lead.

Time to surrender. Listen to His voice calling to you. Know that He is caring for you and will make all things work for your good. DESPITE what others chat about around you. DESPITE what friends or family members say trying to drag you down...

Surrender to Him.


Joy and Abundance,

Laurie

"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:29-31

Laurie, Hmmm....I wonder if you did some sketches of the scenes in Whole Foods if they would have taken away your pencil and paper!

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 ...
