The day after... uh, my aching back! Somehow we woke to 70 degree temps this morning here in Dallas. DUH, what happened to winter?

Today will be general clean up and then begin preps for Sunday's Annual Chili party. I need to stop eating as I gained back all ten pounds I lost in November. I have NOT unloaded the Christmas Pictures but will try and get something up soon. It was truly wonderful and even better that Stacey and Larry drove in from Roanoke. Doctor said she could come for Christmas but she stayed in the chair with her feet up.

Truth. I have to write on Truth today. Those that know what is going on in my life right now, know I am burdened with a situation out of hand that is so close to me that it hurts. Terry and I tried to instill on our children that the most impt thing was to always tell the truth. It is hard when there are adults out there that toss things around in the air and paint situations to look desperate and twist the truth to their best advantage in order to gain from other people. The one thing I do know from life is to stand by the truth and to stand with God in your heart. You have beside you an army of angels so deep and so strong that you will survive the worst attacks of evil and dishonesty.

Hold to the truth in love. Teach your children that "truth stands the test of time." Proverbs 12:19.
Without truth you cannot have trust. The foundation you seek to build for the young ones in your life must be built on truth, trust and love.

Joy and Abundance

Laurie

"Though you do not see Him, you trust Him; and even now you are happy..." 1 Peter 1:8

Trusting God produces Joy.

It's a peaceful painting, Laurie.

The Lord knows our struggles. I'm so thankful He is the stability of all our times.

Wishing you a blessed 2009!

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 ...
