"The Lord watches over those who obey Him, those who trust in His constant love... We put our hope in the Lord; He is our protector and our help." Psalm 33:18, 20

Have you ever been squeezed in an over-packed elevator? What about in a stadium for a playoff football game? (Like Texas/OU weekend... I have been twice, and that was enough.) I can understand how trampling over other people happens if you are not careful. We have to watch out for our "neighbor" in the crowd. Meanwhile God is watching over us in the midst of it all.

His unwavering love will continue through the masterpiece paintings of sunrise to sunset, to greet you with new moments and new experiences. Despite the "crowds" around you, He never wavers His watch and His protection. He waits patiently and welcomes your prayers and time with Him. He surrounds you with a world filled with all you need and even more. From the cold of winter to the heat of summer; from the early damp spring and planting of seeds, to the crisp fall and gathering of crops; the thick leafy trees that shade you in the summer and the budding blooms of beauty as flowers cover the fields. He is there in every breath.

Stacey was here yesterday. We had a huge ice storm but Larry had to come into work, and with him, Stacey to be close to the hospital and her doctor. It was hard to stay focused on work while she is here and I would rather be spending time with her. I prepared Terry's mother's recipe for homemade meatloaf, also, homemade Audrey Bread (Our neighbor from Justin Texas makes the best homemade bread), fresh shelled organic green peas and organic carrots, and organic red potatoes mashed with their skins on. I am still full this morning. Chili is on the menu and I have to start it shortly.

All recipes will be posted on my Lakewood Series blog this week.

Stacey will be arriving in about thirty minutes so I have to get hopping.

With unwavering belief of His joy and abundance,

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 ...
