"And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee."
Psalms 9:10

"My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine Softer than a sigh.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, Wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world That can ever change my love."
Petula Clark


This was one of the first songs my children every heard me belting out when they were young. It was my resounding declaration that my love was forever through the good and the bad. Ya know if I knew then what I know now, I might not have sung this song quite so loud.

Do you remember playing those games of "How much do you love me?" and they would throw their little arms open as wide as they could and tell me "THIS MUCH". Think about if you threw your arms out and opened them as far as you could your hands would touch behind your back. They would essentially complete a circle...God's circle of love.

God truly wants us to love Him in the same way, with all we have, with all our being, and totally unconditionally. He also wants us to love our enemies and those we cannot trust with the same love we have for Him. That to me is the toughest to do.

The Love in us must grow and encircle those who have not known God's unconditional love.

Remember the Circle of His love surrounds you, who can you bring into the circle?

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37

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 ...
